Hello, everyone, and welcome to today's lesson on structures of flowering plants.

My name is Mrs. Mehrin and I am so excited to be learning with you.

Welcome to today's lesson from the unit Identifying plants and their basic parts.

Today, your learning outcome is, "I can name the different parts of flowering plants." Now, I know that sometimes learning can be a little bit challenging, but that's okay because it means that we can work really hard together and learn lots of new things.

Here are your keywords for today.

We're going to do my turn, your turn.

My turn.

Fantastic.

Well done.

So our lesson is split into three parts today.

Let's begin with the first part, The parts of a flowering plant.

Plants are made up of different parts.

The parts of a plant are also known as the structure of a plant.

Here we have some plants growing on a beach and tulips growing in a pot.

Do you know the names of any of the different parts of plants? I'll give you five seconds to think about your answer.

Off you go.

Fantastic.

Well done.

True or false? Plants are made up of one part.

I'll give you five seconds to think about your answer, but if you think you're going to need longer, you can pause the video here.

Off you go.

Fantastic.

Well done.

The answer is false.

I think this because.

is it A, I can see the different parts of plants, or B, plants are living things.

Again, I'll give you five seconds to think about your answer, but if you think you're going to need longer, you can pause the video here.

Off you go.

So the answer is A, I can see the different parts of plants.

Well done.

The parts of a plant are also known as its.

Is it A, stem, B, structure or C, growth? I'll give you five seconds to think about your answer, but if you need longer you can pause the video.

Off you go.

Fantastic.

Well done.

The answer is B, structure.

Well done.

So do you know what the different parts of a flowering plant are called? I'll give you some time.

Have a look at the picture here and see if you can identify any of the different parts of this flowering plant.

I'll give you five seconds, but if you need longer, just pause the video here.

Off you go.

Fantastic.

Well done.

So you may have said, the main parts or structure of a flower plant are roots, a stem, leaves and flowers.

So here we have the flowers at the top, the stem here.

We've got the roots at the bottom and we have the leaves.

Fantastic learning.

Well done.

So Izzy says, "The main parts of a plant are a stem, leaves and flower." And here we can see somebody holding up the structure of a plant.

So do you agree with Izzy? Are the main parts of a plant the stem, the leaves, and the flower? Or has Izzy missed something out from the structure? I'll give you some time to think about it now.

I'll give you five seconds, but if you need longer, you can pause the video here.

Off you go.

Fabulous.

Well done.

Izzy has forgotten the roots.

Now these are often under the ground, so we can't see them, but if you have a really good look at this picture of the structure of a plant, you can see the roots there at the bottom.

So let's have a look at Task A together.

It says, "Put this plant together and then add the correct label to each part.

Explain why you chose to put each label in each place." So here we have four pictures and we have four words at the bottom.

So we have leaves, stem, roots, and flower.

So I will give you some time now to complete this activity.

You need to put a label on each of the parts of the plant in the pictures that you can see there.

I'd like you to pause the video here so you can have a go at that.

Off you go.

Fantastic.

Well done.

So we've got the flower at the top.

We have the stem, the leaves, and the roots.

Now, let's move on to the second part of our learning today, which is Observing flowering plants.

So Laura's parents are weeding in the garden and have pulled up some plants.

Laura decides to look closely at the plants to see if she can identify each part.

When we look closely at plants, we are using our observation skills, so we can use our eyes or a magnifying glass or a hand lens to help us look.

So here we have somebody observing plants really closely with their eyes and you can see how close up they are getting to make sure that they are using their observation skills really well.

And in the other picture, we have someone observing plants through a magnifying glass.

And we can see in the magnifying glass that there are so many little details that we can see of the plant.

So a magnifying glass is another fantastic way to use our observation skills.

Let's do a quick check-in of your learning.

Which of these will help us to observe different parts of a plant? Is it A, our eyes, B, scissors, or C, a ruler? I'll give you five seconds to think about your answer here, but if you need longer you can pause the video.

Off you go.

Fantastic.

Well done.

The answer is A, our eyes will help us to observe different parts of the plants.

So here is Laura again and she observes a forget-me-not plant.

She looks at the roots at the bottom of the plant.

The roots of a plant are usually under the ground and they help to support the plant so it doesn't fall over.

Laura observes some leaves coming from the stem of the plant.

Leaves can be lots of different shapes and sizes.

So we can see here, on the forget-me-not that the leaves are not all the same.

Even on the same plant, the leaves can be different shapes and different sizes.

We've got some really long leaves, we've got some shorter leaves and we've got some more rounded leaves and some pointier leaves.

Now at the top of the plant, Laura observes some colourful flowers.

Aren't they beautiful? Now they can be lots of different colours, sizes and shapes, and bees and other insects often visit the flowers of plants.

Laura observes a similar plant called lavender.

She looks at the stem.

This is the part that takes water and other things that the plant needs to different parts of the plant and it also helps the plant to stay tall and strong.

Laura observes dandelion and tulip plants.

She looks at leaves coming from the stem of each plant.

So, on a dandelion you have spiky leaves, and on a tulip you have long leaves.

She observes that leaves can be different shapes and sizes.

So it all depends on the flower and on the plant.

Now, at the top of some plants, Laura observes colourful flowers.

Flowers can be lots of different colours, sizes and shapes.

Bees and other insects often visit the flowers of plants.

So here we have a picture of foxglove flowers and poppy flowers.

Aren't they both so beautiful? But we can see that the colours are different.

You have a purple colour on the foxglove and a red colour on the poppy.

And they're different sizes and shapes as well.

So which part of the plant is each line pointing to? So here, you can see you've got lots of new options.

You've got stem, tree, roots, flower, trunk, leaf, and branch.

I'll give you five seconds now to have a go at this question.

So you're going to match up the words with the picture and the line, which is pointing to different parts of the picture.

Now if you're going to need longer than five seconds, you can pause the video here.

Off you go.

Fantastic.

Well done.

Let's see if you were correct.

So at the top we have the flower, then we have the leaves, we have the roots, and we have the stem.

Fantastic learning.

Well done.

Now here is Task B.

It says, "Explore and observe plants using hand lenses or a magnifying glass.

Choose one plant to draw or make a model of.

Don't forget to include each part of the plant." I'd like you to label the roots, the stem, the leaves, and the flowers.

So here we have some pictures to help us.

Remember, you're going to have to really observe by looking closely, using a hand lens or a magnifying glass.

And here we have some children doing that activity.

So choose your plant that you're going to draw or make a model of, and then include each of the parts, so label the roots, the stem, the leaves, and the flowers.

So I'd like you to pause the video here and have a go at Task B.

Off you go.

Fantastic.

Well done.

So let's have a look at one somebody else has done.

So they have chosen to make a model of their plant.

Now, they've labelled the flower, the leaf, the roots, and the stem.

Fantastic.

Have a look at yours.

Is yours similar to what this person has done here? Fabulous learning.

Well done.

So, that takes us on to the final part of our learning for today.

And it's Do plants look the same all year? So plants grow and change and can look different at different times of the year.

Here we have some colourful flowers in summer and we have some dead flowers in autumn.

Now, many plants with flowers grow in the spring or the summer, so they look very different in autumn or winter.

And we can see that from the picture here.

The stem of a sunflower grows tall in the spring.

Each sunflower will make a bud at the top of the stem, which will change and open into a flower in the summer.

So here we have sunflower buds and then we have the buds and open sunflower, and we can see how it's changed from the bud into that beautiful open sunflower.

So once summer has ended, the flower will die.

So here we have a picture of sunflowers in summer and sunflowers in winter.

How are the sunflowers different in these photographs? I'll give you some time to think about it.

I'll give you five seconds, but if you think you need longer, you can pause the video here.

Off you go.

Fantastic.

Well done.

So we can see that the sunflowers in summer are beautiful and bright, but the sunflowers in winter have gone dark and they've died.

And all of those beautiful yellow colours are no longer to be seen in the sunflowers in winter.

Now daffodils grow stems and leaves before the flowers are ready to bloom in the beginning of spring.

So here we have stems and leaves, daffodil flowers in bloom, and the daffodil flowers will die around six to eight weeks later and look very different.

So here we have a picture of a dead daffodil flower, and we can see that it's become wrinkled and dried out and it's lost those beautiful colours that it had before.

Now, some trees produce fruit.

This apple tree looks different at different times of the year.

So we have blossom on a tree in spring and fruit on a tree in summer.

So we can see, that in spring, the apple tree looks very, very different.

The apple tree changes in autumn and winter too.

What differences do you observe? I'll give you some time to think about your answer.

If you'd like, you can pause the video here.

Otherwise I'll give you five seconds to have a quick look and see which differences you observe.

Off you go.

Fantastic.

Well done.

So we can see that the leaves change colour in autumn and they begin to fall off.

And by winter, the apple trees are completely bare.

There are no leaves and there are no fruit on the apple trees.

So Andeep and Alex are gardening in the school's growing area.

Andeep says, "Plants do not change.

They look the same all year round." But Alex says, "Plants look different at different times of year.

Some plants have flowers in the spring or summertime." So here we have pictures of flowers in a garden.

Now, who do you agree with? Do you agree with Andeep who said that plants do not change and that they look the same all year round? Or do you agree with Alex, who says that plants look different at different times of year and that some plants are flowers in the spring or in summertime? I'll give you five seconds to think about your answer, but if you think you're going to need longer, you can pause the video here.

Off you go.

Fantastic.

Well done.

The correct answer is Alex.

Plants do look different at different times of year.

So here is your Task C.

It says, "Choose a flowering plant to observe throughout the year.

Take photos and draw pictures to show how it changes over time." So here we have some examples.

You may like to draw the plants throughout the year, or you might like to take photos of the plant throughout the year to show how it is changing all the time.

Okay, let's have a look at an example that somebody else has done here.

So they've chosen to do the rose and they have observed it in spring.

And I can see they've observed really closely because they have got the buds, they've got the leaves and they've got the stem.

And they've even included the finer details like the thorns on the rose as well.

So I can see they've really observed those closely.

Now they've also done the rose in summer, and I can see that they've observed really closely because they've drawn the petals in and matched the colour really well.

And again, in autumn I can see that they have got those wilted, dead flowers and they've taken and they've paid close attention to the colour as well.

So they've got the browns and the oranges in there.

So I can see that they have done exactly what the task said, which was to observe these plants closely throughout the year.

So let's go through our summary then today.

We have learned that plants are made up of different parts.

The parts of a plant are also known as the structure of a plant.

The main parts of a flowering plant are the roots, the stem, the leaves, and the flowers.

And we can use observation skills to look closely at the flowering plants.

And the parts of a flowering plant may look different at different times of the year.

You have done so brilliantly.

I am so proud of your hard work today.

Well done.

You have done lots of new learning, but you have done a fantastic job.
