In this section, you will plan and carry out an investigation that examines how a plant survives, grows, responds, or reproduces. You will also collect data from your investigation and use it to support a claim about how plants use certain structures to function. do it in a short frist graders wrting
Title: Investigating How Plants Grow and Survive
Introduction:
Plants are living organisms that have unique structures to help them survive, grow, respond, and reproduce. In this investigation, we will study and collect data to understand how plants use these structures to function. By observing and experimenting, we will discover how plants depend on their different parts to stay alive and thrive.
Materials:
1. Pots or containers
2. Soil or potting mix
3. Different types of seeds (such as sunflower, bean, or pea)
4. Water
5. Sunlight
6. Measuring tape or ruler
7. Notebook and pencil
Procedure:
1. Planting the seeds:
a. Fill the pots or containers with soil or potting mix.
b. Plant the different types of seeds according to the instructions on seed packets.
c. Water the seeds gently, ensuring that the soil is moist.
2. Observations:
a. Place the pots or containers in a sunny spot.
b. Observe the seeds daily and note any changes in your notebook.
c. Measure and record the height of each plant at the same time every day.
3. Watering the plants:
a. Water the plants regularly, keeping the soil moist but not soaked.
b. Observe and note any changes in the plants' growth or appearance.
4. Sunlight variation experiment:
a. Select two similar plants from the same type of seed.
b. Place one plant in a well-lit area and the other in a darker area (but still receiving some light).
c. Observe and record any differences in growth, color, or reactions.
5. Reproduction observation:
a. When the plants start flowering, carefully observe the plants and look for signs of seeds or fruits.
b. Note down any changes you observe and their impact on the plants' growth and appearance.
Conclusion:
Based on our investigation, we have discovered that plants need water, sunlight, and soil to survive and grow. They have unique structures such as roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits that contribute to their survival and reproduction. Through our observations and data collection, we can conclude that plants use these structures to function and fulfill their life processes successfully.
Remember to always take care of plants by giving them the necessary water, sunlight, and nutrients they need to ensure their growth and overall health.
