Unfurling the Secrets of Plant Life

by

This was a great way to introduce students to plants and learn to think like scientists. An exploration of external parts of the plants gave an insight to the students to the unrevealed life of plants under the soil.

The teacher helped the learners identify the various parts of a leaf with this handy activity. It also included a labelled diagram, which was self explanatory.
A little further in the lesson, the educator explained how plants carry out the process of PHOTOSYNTHESIS and its importance to mankind by drawing a FOOD CHAIN.
