The parts of plants

Today we learned a song about the parts of plants and what they do. We learned that the roots hold the plant in place and suck up water, the stem carries water up the plant, the leaves gather sunlight to make into food, and the flower turns into a fruit and has seeds. We did an experiment where we put a white flower into blue water. The stem carried the blue water up into the plant and you will have to ask your child what happened! We spent extra time out side because it was such a beautiful day!!!!
