Objectives
3.L.2.1 Students know the names and functions of major plant parts (roots, leaves, stems, flowers). Students know that plants have special parts that perform special functions in order for the plant to survive.
3.L.2.2 Students know that how well plants grow and survive is determined by a combination of environmental conditions. For example, drought conditions will tend to diminish plant health and growth.
3.L.2.3 Students know the distinct stages of the life cycle of seed plants (seed, germination, seedling, adult).
3.L.2.4 Students know that different soils possess different textures and capacities for the retention of water and nutrients. Students know that soil consists of different components. Students know that these characteristics of soil influence the growth and survival of plants.
