Hello class! It's your teacher Shaila. I'm here to teach you today all about plants

2
00:00:08,460 --> 00:00:15,019
and how plants reproduce, how they grow, and what they need to survive. Because remember

3
00:00:15,580 --> 00:00:28,620
that plants are living things. So as living things, they can be born, grow, reproduce, and die.

4
00:00:29,500 --> 00:00:38,140
So now let me show you all about plants. Okay, let's go. Today I will be using a plant that I

5
00:00:38,140 --> 00:00:47,899
have at home as an example for how plants grow. This is a very beautiful plant and it is called

6
00:00:47,899 --> 00:00:58,990
an orchid. Please repeat, orchid. Plants need four things to grow.

7
00:00:58,990 --> 00:01:10,030
Can you name what those four things are? Let me help you. Plants need sunlight,

8
00:01:10,030 --> 00:01:32,500
plants need soil, plants need water, and plants need air. So let's repeat together one more time,

9
00:01:32,500 --> 00:01:50,799
okay? Sunlight, soil, water, and air. Excellent work. Now we will work together

10
00:01:50,799 --> 00:02:04,159
to label the four different parts of a flowering plant. We have the flower, roots,

11
00:02:04,159 --> 00:02:15,659
leaves, and stem. Let's begin with this part of the flower. This part of the

12
00:02:15,659 --> 00:02:28,539
flower is yellow and orange. What is the name of this part? Is it flower, roots,

13
00:02:28,539 --> 00:02:48,090
leaves or stem? Excellent, yes. This is the flower. Repeat after me. Flower. Next we

14
00:02:48,090 --> 00:02:57,469
have this part. It connects from the soil all the way to the flower. What is the

15
00:02:57,469 --> 00:03:11,210
name of this part of the plant? Excellent, yes. This is the stem. Now we have these

16
00:03:11,210 --> 00:03:22,240
big green parts. What is the name of this part of the flower? Excellent, yes. These

17
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:36,500
are the leaves. Finally, we have the roots. The roots grow beneath the soil, so they

18
00:03:36,500 --> 00:03:44,360
they will be not visible to us but we know they are under the soil so we will

19
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:55,789
place them right there with this label. Let's go one more time repeating. We have

20
00:03:55,789 --> 00:04:08,400
flower, stem, leaves, and roots under the soil. A flowering plant will start its

21
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:21,600
life cycle as a seed. The seed goes into the soil and then the seed will grow until it becomes a

22
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:31,649
full-grown plant or a flower such as our beautiful orchid. Flowering plants reproduce through

23
00:04:31,649 --> 00:04:41,670
pollination. A bee will come along and collect pollen from the flower and then

24
00:04:41,670 --> 00:04:48,649
carry it away to the other flowers. When the life cycle is finished, the plant

25
00:04:48,649 --> 00:04:51,610
will then die.
