SPRING SUMMER

Evergreen trees, such as conifers,
keep their leaves during all seasons.
Which are the evergreen and deciduous trees?

Deciduous trees lose their leaves
in autumn and winter.
Evergreen trees keep their leaves

In the next lesson we are going to learn
the difference between:
Wild plants. Cultivated plants.
Watch this video. Then, explain the difference.
Wild plants grow in the wild.
They grow in forests, jungles, or around your house.
They do not need human care.
Cultivated plants are grown by humans.
You can grow your own plants in a garden
and then eat them.
Draw in your notebook: Wild and cultivated plants.

Are the plants in your school wild or cultivated?
Why are plants important for us?
Plants provide us with oxygen.
Plants provide us with food.
We can make many things out of plants.
Can you name some of them?
Draw in your notebook: We need plants.
 Plants provide us with food.
 Plants provide us with oxygen.
 We can make many things out of plants.
Can we live without plants?
Can animals live without plants?
PLANT REPRODUCTION.
How do plants reproduce?Most plants reproduce by seeds.
Seeds
Did you know some seeds can travel?
Some plants need help from bees to reproduce.
Other plants need help from butterflies,
birds, bats or other animals to reproduce.
It is called pollination.
Draw in your notebook: Plant reproduction.
Most plants reproduce by seeds.
Some seeds can travel.
Some plants need help from
butterflies or bees to reproduce.
This is called pollination.
seed
As we have seen most plants reproduce by seeds.
Other plants, however, reproduce by spores.
They are called non-flowering plants.
Non-flowering plants and fungi
reproduce by spores.
Draw in your notebook: Reproduction by spores
spores
Non-flowering plants and fungi
reproduce by spores.
