Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Plant Structure and Function. Suitable for Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5.

Main Concepts

Photosynthesis occurs when plants absorb energy from sunlight through their leaves.

Pollination is necessary in order for a plant to reproduce.

Stamens, pistils, pollen, and sepals are external structures of a flowering plant that allow it to reproduce.

Some plants grow from seeds.

The structures in an organism have different purposes, or functions.

The roots of a plant absorb water and nutrients from the soil and also give the plant support.

The functions of internal and external structures support an organism’s survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction.

A plant stem gives a plant structure and supports the growth of the plant.

Reproduction occurs when an organism produces another organism.

Internal structures are located within an organism.

When organisms grow, they become larger over time.

The properties of flower petals, such as color and shape, help attract pollinating animals.

External structures are located on the outside of an organism.(ES)

Tubes within a plant stem move water and nutrients upwards from the plant roots, allowing the plant to grow.

Plants that have structures that transport food and water throughout the plant are called vascular plants.

The functions of internal and external structures work together as part of a system in an organism.

External structures of plants that produce seeds include roots, stems, leaves, and flowers.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What do flowers need to live and grow? What are the parts of a flower? How do bees help flowers?

After the Game

In the game, what were the steps that you had to take to grow your flower? What did your flower need to survive and grow? What were the internal and external structures of the flower that helped it to survive? What were the two main parts of the flower that were used for pollination reproduction?
