Science Terms
This is a simple way to represent a more complex object or idea.
What is a model?
God designed photosynthesis to create this for plants and animals.
What is oxygen (air)?
These are two external structures that help a plant with reproduction.
What are fruit and flowers?
This is the part of the plant that grows underground and gets nutrients and water from soil. (There will be a diagram with a picture of it on your test)
What are roots?
Plants like Morning Glories that can climb other trees by growing roots into them are responding to this.
What is touch?
The way a person thinks about and understands the world comes from what they believe. This is called a person's ______________
What is worldview?
Carrots are example of this part of the plant that is edible in some plants.
What are roots?
Broccoli is an example of this plant part that is edible in some plants.
This is the part of the plant that contains seeds. (You will have to identify it on a diagram on the test)
What are the fruit?
This is the part of the plant that holds the rest of the plant up. The leaves, flowers, and fruit all grow out from this part. (You will have to identify it on a diagram on the test)
What is the stem?

What are the flowers?
How did God design photosynthesis to benefit both plants and people/animals?
Answers may vary but something along the lines of:
People breathe out carbon dioxide and plants can use it for photosynthesis and produce oxygen for people/animals to breathe.
Thorns changing from leaves and stems over millions of years and changing to adapt to protect plants are ideas from this worldview.
What is evolutionary?
A cactus quickly growing new roots after it rains to absorb the rain is an example of plants respond to this.
What is water?
These are the tiny internal structures in leaves that take in sunlight and where photosynthesis occurs.
What are chloroplasts?
This kind of stem is usually thin and lives through only one growing season.
What is a soft, green stem?
Give an example of how a plant can respond to touch.
Answers may vary but the following were examples discussed in class:
Morning Glories and other vines can grow up trees and other objects to reach for the sun.
A Venus fly trap reacts to an insect landing on it and closes it trap.
This is an internal structure that moves water and nutrients from roots to leaves.
What is the xylem?
This is the process by which plants use energy from the sun, carbon dioxide, and water to make food.
What is photosynthesis?
These are the tiny openings on the underside of a leaf that take in carbon dioxide and and let out oxygen.
What are stomata?
This is a long thick root that grows straight down from the stem.
What is a taproot?
Explain the biblical worldview of thorns/spines/prickles.
Answers may vary:
