Plant Structures

It’s getting to be gardening time in our area so I wanted to share plant resources with you.

I found a fabulous short video at PBS about Plant Structures. In addition to the video (which you can download so you’ll always have it!!) there’s a short essay, discussion questions, and a list of science standards.

I wonder that the essay included with the resource might be a challenge to read and the questions are all answered in the video so I created a simpler version using Google Slides that you can copy and use in your classroom or at home. It has text boxes for answers. If you want a version of the original text with questions, I created that too! Photo credit: PBS.org

For more resources about plant structures, I have free word puzzles a memory game, and a great resource about plant parts in my TpT store.

Here are more online resources to consider. I listed them from options that seem the simplest with the least prep to more complex resources:

• Parts of a Plant – DK Findout
• Great Plant Escape – University of Illinois Extension
• What Parts do we Eat? – Serendip Studio
• Look at Those Leaves! – Science NetLinks
