3. Plants - Seven Processes of Life
Movement
Stems and leaves curve round to face the
light.
Light is needed by the leaves to make food.

4. Plants - Seven Processes of Life
Reproduction
The flowers of a plant contain the reproductive
organs.
The male organs (stamen) produce pollen which is
transferred to the female organs (stigma) –
POLLINATION. This allows the plant to produce
eggs - FERTILISATION.
When the flower dies these seeds fall from the plant,
landing in the earth below.

5. Plants - Seven Processes of Life
Sensitivity
Stems curve to face the light.
Roots grow towards water.

6. Plants - Seven Processes of Life
Nutrition
Plants need food. The roots take in minerals
from the soil.
The leaves then turn these mineral salts and
water into food using energy from the sun.
This is called photosynthesis.

7. Plants - Seven Processes of Life
Excretion
Plant release oxygen. This is a waste
product of photosynthesis.

8. Plants - Seven Processes of Life
Respiration
Plants take in Carbon dioxide (gas),
They use this to make food.

9. Plants - Seven Processes of Life
Growth
Plant use the food made during
photosynthesis to grow.

10. •We will learn that plants produce
flowers which have male and female
organs.
•We will learn that seeds are formed
when pollen from the male organ
fertilises the female organ.
•We will learn to label the parts of a
plant and flower.

11. Parts of Plant
ROOTS – take in water and mineral salts from the soil. They
anchor the plant into the ground.
STEM – is like a straw. It moves water around the plant. It
raises the leaves and flowers of the plant off the ground.
LEAVES – make the food for the plant. They take the water
and mineral salts and use them together with sunlight and
carbon-dioxide to make food.
FLOWERS – Produce seeds which the form new plants

13. Look at this picture.
Can you label the parts of the plant?

14. The roots
absorb water
from the soil.

15. The stem helps
to support the
plant.

16. The leaves use
sunlight to
provide the
plant with
energy.

17. The flower
helps the plant
to reproduce.

18. This is the name for the
FEMALE part of the
flower.
This is the name for the
MALE part of the flower.

23. •We know that plants produce flowers
which have male and female organs.
•We know that seeds are formed when
pollen from the male organ fertilises the
female organ.
•We can label the parts of a plant and
flower.

24. We will also find out that insects pollinate
some flowers and discover how this is done!
We will find out more about how flowering
plants reproduce.
