Our World- Plants

On third day, Hashem created land and plants.

Friends said, that plants are good because they are beautiful,

we can smell them, they give us food.  

 

 Friends learn that plants are living things. They need soil for food, water to drink,

sun for light and warmth. Every part of the plant has job to do. Roots keep a plant in the ground and drink water, stem transfer water to leaves and flowers, leaves make food for plant, flowers make seeds for future plants. 

 

What parts of plants do people eat?

Radishes- roots, leek- stems, lettuce- leaves, cauliflower - flowers, sunflower seeds...

 

 

 

Friends visited a local fruit store to buy eatable part of plants.  

 

Thank you to all our Parents for sending in fruits and vegetables to our class.

We learned what are fruits and what are vegetables.

There are two different opinions - scientists and cooks.  

Scientists say that everything that develops from flower and have seeds inside is considered to be a fruit. Therefor, tomatoes, cucumbers, pepper, and squash are fruits. Carrot, potatoes, onion are vegetables. Cooks say that everything which is sweet is considered in their kitchen fruit, the ones which are not sweet- vegetables.

 

Friends drew naturmort - images of fruits.   

 

 

 They do not forget to take care of our little garden.
