Parts of a plant Scavenger Hunt
Instructions
Take out a sheet of paper and label it Plant
Scavenger Hunt. Number your paper 1-18
Search around the room to find all of the fact cards.
Once you find the fact card, find the corresponding
question and answer the question. Use your own sheet
of paper. Do not write on my sheet!!!
There are 18 questions and 18 fact cards.
Parts of a Plant
Notes
Unit 2
Essential Questions that we will answer:
 What is a plant?
 What do plants need to survive?
 What are the parts of a plant?
 How do plants carry out the
STERNGRR processes?
1.What is a plant?
Plants are multicellular organisms
that carry out photosynthesis.
What is photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is the process by
which plants absorb the sun’s
energy and use it as food.
What STERNGRR process does this
describe?
What do plants need to
survive?
• All living things grow and change.
• All living things need food, water,
and air to live.
Plants must have these
things to grow.
• Sunlight
• Air
• Water
• Nutrients or minerals from the soil
Why do you think plants need each
of these things to survive?
When a seed has sunlight,
air, water, and nutrients
it will begin to germinate,
or start to grow.
This young plant that
grows from a seed is
called a seedling.
Parts of a Plant
• Roots hold the plant in the soil and takes
in water and nutrients from the soil.
Parts of a Plant
• The stem holds up the plant and
moves water and nutrients
through it.
Parts of a Plant
• Leaves use light, air, water, and
nutrients to make food for the
plant.
Parts of a Plant
• Flowers make fruits that hold
seeds.
Flower 
Parts of a Seed
• Seed Coat
• Seed Leaf
• Stored Food
• Developing Plant
The hard covering that
protects the seed is the ...
The part that looks like a
leaf inside each seed is
the ...
Seeds
• Seeds are formed in the center part of
the flower or fruit.
• Seeds come in many shapes and sizes.
• Plants grow from seeds.
How Seeds Are Scattered
• Planting
• Animals
• Water
• Wind
Remember…
When the small plant inside begins to grow,
the seed germinates.
The young plant that grows from a seed is
the seedling.
Seeds are scattered by planting, wind,
water, and animals.
Leaves are responsible for
Nutrition and Respiration
During photosynthesis, leaves
absorb sunlight and make
sugar that can be used later
(Nutrition)
Later, plants used the sugars
produced during
photosynthesis to make
energy (Respiration)
Flowers are responsible
for reproduction
• Flowers make fruits that hold
seeds.
Flower 
Stem and Roots transport
water and nutrients to the
rest of the plant.
Seeds are responsible for
growth and development
How a Seed Grows into a New Plant
• The life of a plant begins as a seed.
• Once you plant and water a seed it begins to
germinate.
• The root pushes through the seed coat.
• The seedling grows out of the ground.
• The stem and its leaves point to the sunlight.
• The leaves make its own food.
• Flowers begin to bloom and make seeds.
• New seeds are formed and scattered.
