Plant Growth and Nutrition Concepts

The video tutorial explores the changes in trees after a rainstorm, focusing on fallen branches and the role of gravity. It then transitions to a discussion on what plants need to grow, including water, nutrients, light, air, and space. The tutorial concludes with a practical exercise where students draw and write about these plant needs, reinforcing their understanding through creative expression.

What caused the branch to fall from the tree?

• Animal activity

• Gravity

• Strong wind

• Human interference

What happens to the leaves of the adopted tree when it stops making food?

• They turn green

• They grow larger

• They fall off immediately

• They turn brown and yellow

Which tree remains green throughout the year?

• The adopted tree

• The tree with fallen branches

• The tree near the chicken coop

• The tree next door

What is the first thing plants need to grow?

• Nutrients

• Water

• Sunlight

• Air

How do roots help plants?

• They attract sunlight

• They provide support

• They absorb water and nutrients

• They produce food

What do leaves use to make food for the plant?

• Sunlight and air

• Water and soil

• Space and air

• Nutrients and water

What are the 'ingredients' needed for a plant to make food?

• Air, water, and soil

• Soil, water, and air

• Water, air, and sunshine

• Sunshine, nutrients, and space

Why is space important for plant growth?

• It increases nutrient absorption

• It helps in water retention

• It provides more sunlight

• It allows roots to spread

What should students include in their science notebook about tree growth?

• A paragraph about tree history

• A poem about trees

• A list of tree types

• A drawing of a tree with labels

What is the role of nutrients in plant growth?

• They attract pollinators

• They help in photosynthesis

• They provide energy

• They are absorbed by roots
