Q Can you use the words stem, leaf and root to describe this plant? (solicitseveral descriptions and encourage students to incorporate quantitative andqualitative factors, such as estimates of number and size of leaves, height ofstem, color of stem and leaves, and shape of leaves)After the discussion, Students should work in groups of about four. (The Teacher will give each group should a small pot plant to examine and talk about. )Encourage students to touch and smell their plant as well as look at it.
They should remove the plant from the pot to look at the roots (you may need to have some old newspapers to put on the tables).

If time allows, students could exchange plants and compare their observations oftwo plants. )Bring the activity to an end by asking each group to think about how they would describe their plant so that someone could recognize it.

Answers may vary. )(One student from the group will share the group’s observation to the entire class)| V. Activities Students could be asked to do a drawing or painting based on their plant. They could also do tracings of leaves or make leaf prints. They could also make a model of a plant with roots, stem and leaves. On an outdoor excursion, students could identify the parts of plants and describe these. VI.
Application How did you describe the plant assigned to your group? Were you able to pay attention to little details and appreciate its uniqueness? In life, how will you describe and look at the things that surround you? VII. Generalization * Green plants have roots, stems and leaves. • Roots, stems and leaves can vary in size, shape, color, feel and smell. • Good description allows objects to be identified. VIII. Evaluation Name the parts of a green plant IX. Assignment Choose a plant and draw it on your notebook. Identify and label the parts.
