A carrot is a vegetable, and we eat this part of the plant.
Root
Explain what hunter-gatherers means.

What are the two important parts of a flower that are involved in pollination?
Stamen and Stigma

Celery is a vegetable, and we eat this part of the plant.
Stem
This discovery gave early humans light, warmth, protection from animals, and a way to cook food.
Fire
What natural forces can carry pollen from one plant to another?
Wind, animals.
Put these steps in order: flower, seed, fruit, pollination. Explain your thinking!
According to a plant scientist, a bell pepper is a fruit because it contains seeds. According to a chef or at a grocery store, a bell pepper is a vegetable because you wouldn't put a bell pepper in your fruit salad!
Why did early humans migrate, or move from place to place?
