100
This plant need allows plants to spread out.
What is space or room to grow?
100
This plant part contains the seed.
What is the flower or the fruit?
100
These 3 things are transported by the stem.
What are food, nutrients, and water?
100
These three things are required for photosynthesis to take place.
What are water, sunlight, and Carbon Dioxide or CO2?
100
The stem does this in order to help the leaves receive more sunlight.
What is turns the plant toward a window or other light source.
200
This plant need helps to keep the soil moist.
What is water?
200
This is the plant part you would study if you were studying the part that makes food.
What is the leaf?

Issis is measuring the length of the stem of a tomato plant. What is the most important function of the stem on this plant?
What is it supports the tomatoes?
200
This is the type of gas that is released during photosynthesis.
What is oxygen?
200
The stem of the plant grows toward the light to help this process occur.
What is photosynthesis (or making food)?
300
This plant need is similar to vitamins and can be found in the soil.
What are nutrients?
300
This plant part grows downward because of gravity. It also takes in water and nutrients.
What are the roots?
300
Plant roots grow in response to gravity if there is enough water for the plant to grow. Which direction do roots grow in response to gravity?
What is downward?

Jaylani knows that plants make sugar during photosynthesis. She is trying to remember the name for the sugar that gets produced.
What is glucose?
300
Siegfried is watching a sunflower in his backyard. He notices that the flower is facing east in the morning, but it has turned to face west in the evening. What does Siegfried determine to be the reason for the plant doing this?
What is the plant is following the sun?
400
This plant need is most important in the production of food.
What is sunlight?
400
This part of the plant keeps it anchored in the ground.
What are the roots?
400
The flower is an important part of the plant. What is the job of the flower?
What is to make seeds and attract pollinators?
400
Marilyn is performing an investigation to determine which side of the plant has the tiny holes that allow the plant to breathe. She covers the top side of one plant leaf and the bottom side of another leaf. What are the tiny air holes on a plant leaf called?
What are the stomata?
400
Farmers take care of their plants throughout the growing season. A fruit-tree farmer worries about his fruit trees when they are budding. Which environmental factors do farmers worry about most?
What are light and temperature?
500
When we talk to plants, this is released. It also happens to be something that plants need.
What is Carbon Dioxide or CO2?
500
A seed is also called an embryo. What does the embryo contain?
What is a small plant that can grow into a larger plant?
500
Brightly colored flowers attract pollinators. Why is it important for bees to be attracted to flowers?
What is...so they can collect pollen and transport it to another flower for reproduction to occur.
500
Joell is trying to explain the process of photosynthesis to Jomar. What would you say if you were Joell?
What is... Water is absorbed by the roots and carried to the leaves through the stem. Carbon Dioxide is taken in through the stomata and sunlight is harnessed through the leaves, as well. This energy is transferred to chemical energy in the form of glucose. Oxygen is released into the air.

Shaddai is conducting an experiment on plants. She covers all of the leaves with foil and waters the plants once per day. After 1 week, she removes the foil. All of the leaves have turned yellow. Why has this happened?
What is... the leaves didn't get any sunlight?
