Plants travel by sending out seeds and fruit that fall on the ground and begin growing where they fall. Sometimes seeds are designed to travel long distances before they find soil to grow in, such as dandelion seeds that are blown far away by the wind. On this worksheet, learn different ways seeds travel. khudoshina093358 https://padlet.com/khudoshina093358/afrae9fu7enpvaio/wish/1497697928 2021-05-06 12:07:02 UTC https://padlet.com/khudoshina093358/afrae9fu7enpvaio/wish/1497697928 Plants, like all living organisms, have basic needs: a source of nutrition (food), water, space in which to live, air, and optimal temperatures in order to grow and live. khudoshina093358 https://padlet.com/khudoshina093358/afrae9fu7enpvaio/wish/1501619572 Kids need lots of things to grow up healthy and strong, and plants do, too! Can you think of things a plant needs to grow? On this life science worksheet, circle the things that plants need, then answer questions about why?]]> 2021-05-07 09:34:55 UTC https://padlet.com/khudoshina093358/afrae9fu7enpvaio/wish/1501619572 How do fruit and vegetables grow? khudoshina093358 https://padlet.com/khudoshina093358/afrae9fu7enpvaio/wish/1501670506 There are three main ways a vegetable can grow. Some are roots that grow underground. These include parsnips,carrots and radishes. When you plant the seeds you have to be very patient and wait for the green shoots to grow big and leafy above the ground. It’s important to wait – NO PEEKING – because if you pull them up too soon you will break their little root tendrils and they will stop growing.The second way vegetables can grow is on a vine. This includes the big, heavy ones like pumpkins, squash, zucchini and cucumbers which lie on the ground, and also smaller, lighter ones like peas, beans and tomatoes (technically a fruit) which can be supported with poles or nets to help the vine grow upward.The third way vegetables grow is sprouting up above ground with strong roots holding them up. This is true of asparagus, leeks, broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce, cabbage and Brussels sprouts. Now, “What about fruit?” I hear you say. Most of the fruit we eat is grown on trees. Most fruit trees are fairly small (which makes picking the fruit much easier!) There are hundreds of varieties of apples alone. Other fruits that grow this way include oranges, grapefruits, lemons, limes, clementines, tangerines, pears, plums, pomegranates, dates, figs, apricots, cherries, peaches, and many more! Other fruit you might enjoy grows on a vine. I was quite aware that both green and red grapes grow this way, but I was very surprised when researching this topic to find that kiwi fruit does too! Another type of fruit you might wonder about is the berry. These usually grow on bushes, so they make picking easy! ]]> 2021-05-07 10:02:51 UTC https://padlet.com/khudoshina093358/afrae9fu7enpvaio/wish/1501670506 Planting process khudoshina093358 https://padlet.com/khudoshina093358/afrae9fu7enpvaio/wish/1501717207 2021-05-07 10:30:29 UTC https://padlet.com/khudoshina093358/afrae9fu7enpvaio/wish/1501717207 Planting fruits in the garden!!! khudoshina093358 https://padlet.com/khudoshina093358/afrae9fu7enpvaio/wish/1501719902 Complete this project with a help of your parents or a teacher and grow YOUR OWN fruit garden.
