Parts of Plants


Session 3

The Library Learning Patch Kids learned about what parts of plants are edible and then got to sample the examples.

Edible plant parts include:
Leaves (lettuce)
Stems (celery)
Flowers (broccoli)
Seeds (sunflower)
Fruit (apple)
Roots (carrot)



 The book selection was Plantzilla, by Jerdine Nolen




Next stop, OUTSIDE!

Taking the hill.

Collecting soil for plant necklaces.



The children planted rye grass seeds in film canisters for their plant necklaces.


Next week, our seedlings go in the ground!
