PLANTS
DEAR THIRD GRADE PARENTS:
After completing this chapter, your child will know how plants grow change. Your child will also learn about the life cycles of some plants; how to classify plants; how plants reproduce using seeds formed in flowers or cones; and how roots and stems take in and transport, and sometimes store, the materials that the plant needs to grow.
Within this chapter your child will learn and use these vocabulary words: CARBON DIOXIDE, OXYGEN, FLOWERING PLANT, PHOTOSYNTHESIS, POLINATE, GERMINATE, REPRODUCE, LIFE CYCLE, SPORE and NUTRIENT.
Help your child make these words part of their vocabulary by using them when you talk together about plants.
Thank you for all your encouragement and support.
