| What are the three main parts of plants? | Roots, stems and leaves |
| What are the two things roots do for a plant? | Anchor the plant and absorb water and nutrients |
| What do root hairs do for the plant? | They absorb water and minerals from the soil |
| What is a root tip? | A slimy end of the root that helps the root push into the soil |
| What are the two types of roots? | Tap roots and fibrous roots |
| Describe a tap root. | A single large root that grows deep and stores food through the winter |

| What can tree rings tell you? | How old the tree is and what kind of weather and growth it had each year |
| What function do the plants leaves perform? | They make food for the plant - they use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to make food |
| Describe a plants' veins. | They are bundles of tube like structures that carry food and water throughout the plants leaves, stems and roots |
| What are the tiny holes on the underside of the leaves that allow the plant to take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide | Stomata |
| What is the name of the process plants use to make food? | Photosynthesis |
| What are the inputs to the process of photosynthesis? | Sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide |
| What are the outputs from the process of photosynthesis? | Sugars (food) and oxygen |
