Parts of a plant

Most plants have leaves, stem and roots. Some plants have flowers and fruits also.

Roots

Roots hold the plant firmly in the ground. Roots also absorb water and nutrients from the soil, for the plant to grow. A third function of the roots is that it holds the soil in place from being displaced or washed away. In some plants, roots store food also.

There are different types of roots. The main two types of root systems are the fibrous root system and tap root system.

In a fibrous root system many roots grow in all directions. But in the tap root system there is one large primary root growing straight down. It may have smaller secondary roots growing to the sides.

Stem

The stem holds up the plant. In addition, it carries water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves. It also carries food from the leaves to the roots. Moreover, it stores food. Stems can be thick or thin. They can be green or brown.

There are mainly two types of stems.

Woody stems: trees and shrubs have woody stems that provide support to them.

Herbaceous or Non-woody stems: these are softer, green and flexible stems. Smaller and thinner plants have non-woody stems. They rely on the pressure of the watery sap present in their stems to hold themselves up.

Leaves

Leaves come in different shapes, sizes, and colours.

Leaves use light from the sun, carbon dioxide from the air, nutrients from the soil, and water to make food for the plant. This process is called photosynthesis.

There are different types of leaves. According to the leaf blades, leaves can be divided into simple leaves and compound leaves. A simple leaf has just one leaf blade whereas a compound leaf has more than one leaf blade.

Flowers

Flowers come in many different sizes, shapes and colours. The purpose of a flower is to aid in fertilization so that the plant creates seeds. Bright colors, strong scents and sweet nectar attract birds, bees and other insects to move pollen from one flower to another. Thus pollination happens and seeds develop. These seeds grow up as plants again. The following are some commonly found flowers.

Fruits

Fruits are of many different shapes, sizes, colours and texture. Some fruits have only one seed; other fruits have many seeds. Mangoes, rambutans, peaches and plums are single-seeded fruits. papaya, kiwi fruits and oranges are multi-seeded fruits.

One of our favorite springtime activities is to plant seeds and watch as they grow and bloom into flowers throughout the season. It's always fun to learn all about the parts of the flowers and what each part does to help the flowers grow. After watching our flowers grow and learning all about their parts, we like to create this Parts of a Flower Craft.

What You Need For The Parts of a Flower Craft:

Doing The Parts of a Flower Craft:

First, we painted the craft stick with the green paint. You may need to use two coats of paint to cover the craft stick completely. To save time, you can buy the pre-colored craft sticks instead of painting one.

While the paint dried, we cut a rectangle out of the brown construction paper and glued it onto the bottom of the blue construction paper for the soil. Then, we glued the green craft stick on the blue construction paper for the stem.

Next, we folded four cupcake liners in fourths and glued them at the top of the craft stick in the shape of a circle so the points were all touching. We used four cupcake liners to give it more dimension, but you can use just one cupcake liner and fold it inside out too. After, we glued sunflower seeds in the center of the cupcake liners.

Then, we cut two leaves out of the green construction paper. We glued them onto the blue paper next to the stem. You can draw the leaves on the paper and have your students cut them out if you are working with young children.

Next, we glued brown crinkle paper on the brown construction paper for the flower's roots. You can also use brown yarn if you don't have crinkle paper.

After adding the brown crinkle paper, we cut two thin rectangle out of the green construction paper. Then, we glue them on above the brown paper for grass.

Finally, we cut small rectangles out of the white construction paper. We wrote labels for flower, stem, leaves, seeds, and roots on each piece and glued them onto our paper.

This Parts of a Flower Craft is a fun way for children to learn the different parts that make up a flower and will be a great addition to your flower unit this year.
