Structures of Life Learning Guide Plant Concepts Seeds develop in the fruit of a plant. Water can make seeds get bigger, heavier and grow. Seeds begin to grow and develop when placed in water. A seed holds food for the plant embryo. Seedlings have common structures including stems, roots, leaves, and cotyledons. Plants need water, light, and nutrients. Soil provides support, but we can support plants in other ways. The plant cycles from seed through all its stages and begins again with new seeds. Crayfish Concepts Crayfish have observable structures such as legs, eyes, mouth, antennae, carapace, swimmerets, tail, and pincers. Crayfish need clean, cool water, food from plants and animals, shelter, and space in their habitat. They use their gills to get air from the water. Animals exhibit different behaviors. Some animals establish territories that they defend. Bess Beetle Concepts Bess beetles have 6 legs, three body parts (head, thorax, abdomen), 2 antennae, 2 mandibles, 2 eyes, and a horn. Bess beetles need water, food (wood), space, and air in their habitat. Organisms have some similar structures and some differences. An organism’s structures have functions that help it survive in its habitat. The feet of the bess beetle strongly grasp rough surfaces. They can pull on wood as the beetle makes tunnels or tears wood to eat it. Scientists must conduct investigations so that no harm is done to animals. Plant Vocabulary Estimate - figure out a number without counting Fruit - structure (part) of a plant that holds the seeds Property - something you can observe (color, texture, smell, taste, size, shape) Seed - part of the fruit that holds the young plant Dormant - in a resting or inactive state Mold - slimy or cotton-like growth in a moist place Embryo - the small plant inside the seed (baby plant) Seed coat - protective outer covering on the seed Cotyledon - stored food inside the seed for the embryo Germination - when a seed begins to develop Organism - a living thing Seedling - young plant Roots - part of the plant that holds it in the ground and gets nutrients and water Stem - part of the plant that carries water and supports the leaves Leaves - part of the plant that grow out of the stem and make food for the plant (photosynthesis) Hydroponics - growing plants in water and nutrients Nutrients - chemicals plants need Flower - the part of the plant fruit and seeds develop from Life cycle - the stages an organism goes through Crayfish Vocabulary Structures - observable parts Crustaceans - class of mainly aquatic animals with hard, flexible shells, jointed legs, and two sets of antennae Antennae - feelers Bristles - short hairs used for sensing things in the environment Carapace - main body shell of crustaceans Swimmerets - short leglike structures under the tail Pincers - big, jointed leglike structures on the front of the body Habitat - where an animal lives Behavior - things animals do Territory - the part of an animal’s habitat that it defends against others of its own kind Beetle Vocabulary Bess Beetle - A small, shiny black insect found in decaying logs Insect - An organism with 3 body parts and six legs, and antennae Head - Top section of the insect which has the eyes and antennae Thorax - Middle section of the insect which has the legs and wings Abdomen - Lower section of the insect Mite - Small black insects that live with the beetles Terrarium - A container that holds a replica of a land habitat Function - How a structure works or is used by an animal
