3rd Grade Team


Future Botanists At Work


In 3rd grade, students are using their observation skills to identify the structures (parts) of plants.  As they observe, they try to determine the function of each part.  We will be learning how the structures of plants and animals help them adapt and survive in specific environments.






“I noticed that the red part had spikes.  The spikes are to protect the plant from herbivores.”   -Braden


“We were observing how the green part of the plant was smooth.  We think that the green part helps the plant take in the sunlight and make its own food.”  -Leah

“Me and Julia were describing the plants.  We noticed that in the flowers there was a little bit of water.  We noticed that the stem had little hairs on it.”  -Vance

 “I think the leaves are for getting energy for the plant.  The flowers are bright to make the bees come.”  -Julia
