UNIT 1-PLANTS
Today we are going to:
• Review photosynthesis with a game
• Learn about the vital function: “Interaction with the
environment”
Questions:
• Where takes place photosynthesis?
• What are chloroplasts?
• What is chlorophyll?
• How can gases go in and out of the leaves?
• What are stomata?
• What is the raw sap?
• What is the elaborated sap?

Interaction with the environment in plants
• What are stimuli?
• Do plants move?
• Do plants respond to stimuli? How?
Stimuli
• Changes in the environment. Living things receive and react
to these stimuli.
Plants reaction to stimuli
• Tropisms
• Nastic movements
• Video about tropisms-stimuli

Video comprehension
• What are tropisms?
Tropisms
• Animation
What part of the plants has?
• Positive phototropism
• Negative phototropism
• Positive hydrotropism
• Negative hydrotropism
