Plant Photos and Video

The second graders have been learning about the jobs that each plant part does. In our leaf rubbing adventure, we gathered leaves from the Plaza area outside and rubbed crayon on paper over them to see the veins.

Leaves make food!

In our celery experiment, we put celery stalks in water to see what the stem does besides support the plant. The colored water moved up to the leaves.

Stems move water and nutrients throughout the plant!

We have also been practicing our "Leaves, Flowers, Stems, and Roots" song. Here are a few photos and a video of the students in action. (They love singing and acting things out!)
