GRADE 3 – SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY – PLANTS
STUDY SHEETS
4 basic needs of a living thing – food, water, shelter and space
Parts of a Flowering Plant  flower, leaves, stem, roots
FLOWER
LEAVES
STEM
ROOTS
Celery Experiment  helped us learn about the STEM
- STEM helps take water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves and flowers
of the plant
Kidney Bean Experiment  helped us learn about WHAT A PLANT NEEDS TO GROW
- to grow well, a plant needs WATER, SUN AND A WARM PLACE
Carrot and Chrysanthemum Experiment  we learned about the difference between TAP
ROOTS and FIBROUS ROOTS
CARROT
CHRYSANTHEMUM
Fibrous root
Looked like many hairs
Tap root
One long cone-like structure
May have a couple of hair-like structures on
it
Root goes deep into the soil, but in one spot Roots spread out in soil
Coniferous Trees  trees that have their seeds in cones and have needles for leaves
(i.e. Pine Tree, Fir Tree, etc.)
Deciduous Trees  trees that have broad leaves
(i.e. Apple Tree, Maple Tree, Oak Tree, etc.)

Plant Life Cycle
SEEDS
GERMINATION
POLLINATION
- plants begin to grow with
soil, water, sun and
nutrients
- helps to create
seeds and fruit
FLOWERS
ROOTS AND STEM
- IMPORTANT IN MAKING
SEEDS
- ONE PUSHES UP TO THE
SUN (STEM) AND THE
OTHER PUSHES DOWN
INTO THE SOIL (ROOTS)
LEAVES
- unfold, take in sunlight,
make food through
photosynthesis
