S & F Challenge

100

Madison got a potted plant for her birthday but noticed that there were no flowers on it. This would not allow the plant to

200

300

Ms. Paul got a bouquet of cut flowers from her sister and even though she put them in water they died after a week because the flowers were missing the 

roots

400

Flower

500

Veins 

Photosynthesis

100

Photosynthesis occurs in this plant structure. 

Leaves 

200

Plants do photosynthesis to...

make food for themselves

300

Chlorophyll is inside the leaf where photosynthesis and makes the leaves appear

green

400

Photosynthesis involves these 5 parts.

300

Challenge

100

Some plants, like wild roses, have thorns because...

it provides protection from predators

200

Could a plant survive without leaves? Why or why not?

No it could not because then the plant would not be able to perform photosynthesis or take in energy from the sun.

300

If the stem of a flower was removed, how would it affect the plant?

It would not be able to have water and nutrients travel throughout it.

400

You have two neighbors who water their plants. Neighbor A waters their plants by spraying the leaves. Neighbor B waters their plants by spraying the soil. Neighbor __'s plants will grow better because... 

B

water is taken in through the roots under the soil, not through the leaves. 

500
