Plant parts & its function

Dearest beloved children,

Do go back home and revise on stem and leaves.

Although leaves have different edges, textures and shapes but they all have the same main feature - a stalk, edge, blade and veins.

Blade : flat and broad portion of leaf

Stem : support branches and leaves of plant so that they could get as much sunlight as possible.

Plants need light, water and carbon dioxide in order to make food. The process is known as photosynthesis.

Plants take in carbon dioxide through tiny openings called stomata found on the underside of leaves.


Also, here is a website on the different shapes of leaves for your general information.

Do enjoy.

Please start revising your P3 and P4 Science for your upcoming SA1.


Love,
Mrs Yang
