Short Answer:
Responses could vary – here are few possible responses.
1. Sun goes into the plant then the plant converts it to energy.
2. Leaves are nature's food factories. Plants take water from the ground through their
roots. They take a gas called carbon dioxide from the air. Plants use sunlight to turn
water and carbon dioxide into glucose. Glucose is a kind of sugar. Plants use glucose as
food for energy and as a building block for growing. The way plants turn water and
carbon dioxide into sugar is called photosynthesis. That means "putting together with
light." A chemical called chlorophyll helps make photosynthesis happen. Chlorophyll is
what gives plants their green color. (Answer provided from

3. Plants make their own food. They take water from the ground through their roots. They
take a gas called carbon dioxide from the air. They turn water and carbon dioxide into
food using sunlight and something called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is green. It gives
