Extension -Other Edible Plant Parts. Students fold a large paper into 32 boxes for a chart. We Eat, one category in each box going down the right side of paper- seeds, sprouts, roots, stems, leaves, blossoms, fruits. Show a sample of fresh vegetables for each category. Students name three examples for each category and color a picture, labeling it, for each box across the paper.
Volunteers fill in the blackboard chart, and all fill in individual charts.
Next step -Read and explain the booklet and chart to someone at home tonight, and be ready for a test tomorrow on labeling the parts of a plant. Try sprouting corn seeds and bring in the various stages of development for extra credit. A tiny seed is sleeping in the ground, sleeping in the ground, sleeping in the ground. A tiny seed is sleeping in the ground, showing nature's way. The sun comes out and warms the seed, warms the seed, warms the seed.
