The seed needs the right amount of soil, rain and sunlight in order for it to sprout and grow into a plant. ]]> 2017-04-27 00:33:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kalyn_boothe/a22oz438gqqt/wish/168519406 kalyn_boothe https://padlet.com/kalyn_boothe/a22oz438gqqt/wish/168520174 The leaves of a plant are where the food is made. This process is called photosynthesis. Leaves come in all different colors, shapes, and sizes. They are a very important part of the plant. Without them the plant could not survive.  ]]> 2017-04-27 00:40:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kalyn_boothe/a22oz438gqqt/wish/168520174 kalyn_boothe https://padlet.com/kalyn_boothe/a22oz438gqqt/wish/168521821 Some plants have flowers. The flower contains pollen and tiny eggs called ovules. This is where the seed of the plant comes from which will make new plants. For a flower to make a seed, pollen from one flower must combine with the seed another flower. This is called fertilization. ]]> 2017-04-27 00:53:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kalyn_boothe/a22oz438gqqt/wish/168521821 kalyn_boothe https://padlet.com/kalyn_boothe/a22oz438gqqt/wish/168523244 Some plants grow food that we can eat! One of the most popular ones is a tomato plant. Instead of growing flowers that look pretty, they grow tomatoes that we can pick and eat. When the tomatoes turn red, that is when you know they are ripe and ready to be picked. ]]> 2017-04-27 01:08:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kalyn_boothe/a22oz438gqqt/wish/168523244 kalyn_boothe https://padlet.com/kalyn_boothe/a22oz438gqqt/wish/168524802 Now that we have learned all about plants and how they function, here is a song to go along with the lesson. ]]> 2017-04-27 01:25:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kalyn_boothe/a22oz438gqqt/wish/168524802 kalyn_boothe https://padlet.com/kalyn_boothe/a22oz438gqqt/wish/168528069 Here is a fun game!
