Plant Basics
This living thing can make its own food using sunlight.
Plants
This plant part absorbs water and nutrients from the soil.
Root
Name one way pollen can travel from one plant to another.
animals, wind, or people
Plants use energy from this to make food.
Sunlight
This is what is being measured in an experiment.
Dependent variable
This part of the plant holds seeds.
What is the flower?
This plant part moves water and nutrients throughout the plant.
Stem
This is NOT a way pollen travels.
sunlight
Plants take in this gas during photosynthesis.
carbon dioxide
This is the variable that the scientist changes on purpose.
independent variable
This green pigment helps plants use sunlight to make food.
What is chlorophyll?
The male part of the flower produces this.
Pollen
Plants use this to attract pollinators. (Give one)
flower color or location
Plants release this gas during photosynthesis.
Oxygen
In a plant experiment, this would be an example of a dependent variable.
plant height or growth
If a plant loses most of its leaves, this process becomes difficult.
What is photosynthesis?
This is the process where pollen moves from the stamen to the pistil.
Pollination
Which type of animal is most likely to pollinate a red flower found near water?
A butterfly
Photosynthesis is important because it does this.
makes sugar/food for the plant
Why do scientists repeat an experiment multiple times?
to make results more accurate or reliable
