5 Plants have many parts. Roots, stems, and leaves are parts that help plants live and grow. Insert Photo/Graphic (Minimize) What are three parts of a plant? What do plant parts do?
6 Insert Photo/Graphic roots
7 Insert Photo/Graphic roots - part of a plant that holds the plant in the ground
8 What do roots do? Insert Photo/Graphic (Minimize) Student Response: The help the plant to.
9 Each part of a plant performs a different function. Roots have tiny hairs that extend into the soil to take in water and nutrients. Insert Photo/Graphic (Minimize) Which plant part is under the ground? What does this plant part do?
10 Insert Photo/Graphic stems
11 Insert Photo/Graphic Stems - part of a plant that moves food
12 What do stems do? Insert Photo/Graphic (Minimize) Student Response: The help the plant to.
13 Each part of a plant performs a different function. Tubes in the stems carry water and nutrients from the roots to the plant s leaves. Insert Photo/Graphic (Minimize) What part of the plant is above ground? How do the roots and stems work together to help the plant?

28 Insert Photo/Graphic leg
29 Insert Photo/Graphic Leg - a part of the body near the bottom
30 What do animal parts do? Student Response: A helps an animal to..
31 Animals have different parts to perform different functions. Some physical structures that help animals move are legs, wings, flippers, fins, and tails. Insert Photo/Graphic (Minimize) Can you name two living things that have legs? How do the animals without legs move around?
32 Insert Photo/Graphic fin
33 Insert Photo/Graphic Fin - part of an animal that helps them to move or swim
34 What do animal parts do? Insert Photo/Graphic (Minimize) Student Response: A helps an animal to.
35 Legs and arms help animals move and get food. The fins of fish help them move through the water. Insert Photo/Graphic (Minimize) Why do dolphins have more than one fin? Why doesn t a dolphin need legs?
36 Insert Photo/Graphic wing
37 Insert Photo/Graphic wing - part of an animal that helps them to move or fly
38 What do animal parts do? Insert Photo/Graphic (Minimize) Student Response: A helps an animal to.
39 Animals bodies help them survive in their environments. Wings help animals such as bats, birds, and butterflies fly through the air. Insert Photo/Graphic (Minimize) What body part does a butterfly use to fly? Can all animals that have wings fly?
