Plants are made up of several parts. They start at the bottom with the ROOTS. The roots hold the plant in the ground. Food also travels from the roots into the plant. The STEM is the next part. Food and water travel up the stem into the rest of the plant. Plants have LEAVES. Some plants have FLOWERS. Plants start out as SEEDS. They grow FRUIT to make more seeds.
Make a salad with all the parts of a plant.
Here’s what we can do:
Put in some ROOTS – shredded carrots, chopped onions
Put in some LEAVES – lettuce, cabbage, spinach,
Put in some SEEDS –sunflower seeds, poppy seeds, peas, chick peas
Put in some FRUIT – tomatoes, green beans, cucumbers slices, orange
Put in some STEMS – celery, asparagus
