Lesson Development
Where do plants grow?
Are these plants healthy?
Have you ever seen plants

Plants growing in different environments,

Lesson Development
What do plants need to grow?
Lesson
Development
Plants need water to survive.
Plants soak up water through the roots
and the water moves to the leaves by
the stem.
Lesson Development
'Do you think a plant could grow with indoor light?’
plants need light from the Sun but plants can grow
well with artificial light.
Lesson Development
Plants need light and water to survive (they make their
own food from water and air using photosynthesis).
Lesson Development
Plants do use
nutrients from the soil
to keep healthy, but
they do not get food
from the soil. Food is
made in the leaves by
photosynthesis.
Lesson Development
Plants do need
things from the soil,
but not food. Food is
made in the leaves.
Lesson
Development
Plants need water and
light to survive (they
make their own food
from water and air
using photosynthesis).
Lesson Development
What will happen for the plant
with no light?
It will not grow many leaves
and the stem and leaves will
be very pale and look
unhealthy. It will eventually
die without light because it
cannot make the food it
needs.
Lesson Development

cave?
Plants use light to make food.
Plants can’t grow in the cave because
there is no light.
