The document discusses the basic parts of a plant, including the stem, leaves, roots, and petals. The stem holds the plant above ground and transports water and nutrients. Leaves make food for the plant through photosynthesis and take in carbon dioxide. Roots hold the plant in the ground and take in water and nutrients. Petals are usually the colored part of the plant. The document then quizzes the reader on which part performs each function.

1. Parts of a Plant
Grade 3

2. The student will learn:
To identify the basic parts of a
plant

3. The Stem:
holds up the plant parts
above the ground.
has tiny tubes to transport water
an nutrients to the plant’s parts.

4. Leaves:
Make food for plants which is
sugar
Take in carbon dioxide through
tiny openings in the leaves

5. Roots:
Hold the plant in the ground
Take in water and nutrients
for the plant’s growth

6. Petals:
Are the colored part of the
plant
