Answer-first chapter overview
Plants vary in size, shape, leaves, flowers and fruits. Close observation helps us describe a plant without damaging it.
Learning focus
Students investigate plant diversity, parts, leaves, flowers, fruits, needs, care, texture, smell and observation. This is one interdisciplinary Class 3 learning area integrating the natural and social world; it is not split into separate Science and Social Studies books.
Observation activity
Choose one nearby plant as an observation friend. Record its leaf shape, texture, colour and changes for one week.
Think and answer
- What basic conditions help a plant grow?
- Name three plant parts and their jobs.
- How can we observe a plant safely?
