    The document provides study materials for an upcoming plant test, including a vocabulary list, study guide questions, information on plant adaptations, and the test date. The vocabulary list defines key terms like germinate, organism, physical adaptation, and climate. The study guide outlines topics to review, such as the plant life cycle, matching plants to habitats, identifying adaptive structures, and sequencing the scientific method. The plant adaptations section describes how different plant structures like roots, stems, leaves, flowers and fruits are adapted to help plants survive in their habitats. The test will be on Wednesday, March 26th.

    Study Guide
    1. The student needs to be able to match or fill in the blank for
    the vocabulary words.

    2. The student should be able to label the basic parts of a plant.


    (root, stem, flower, leaves, fruit)

    3. The student should be able to explain a simple plant’s life


    cycle. (seed, seedling, adult plant)
    Seed
    · Seeds need water and warmth to germinate (begin to grow).
    Seedling
    · Roots begin to grow and take in nutrients and water from the habitat.
    Mature (adult) Plant
    · Mature plants have the same structures (for example roots, stems, and leaves) as seedlings,
    but in addition they develop flowers or cones, which produce seeds.

    4. The student should be able to match common plants to their


    habitats. (Textbook Pages 85-89, 96-99, 106-109, 118-121, 131-
    133)

    5. The student should be able to identify structures of the


    plant that allow them to survive. (See Plant Adaptations Page)

    6. The student should be able to sequence the scientific


    method.
    Plant Adaptations
    Some plants have special structural adaptations for meeting their needs in their particular habitat.
    Please use this as a reference tool for discussion at home. Your child WILL NOT need to memorize this list.
    We will be looking at each of these adaptations in class. Some examples of plant adaptations to conditions in
    their habitat may be:
    Roots Example Question from
    · Roots take in water and nutrients from the habitat. Test:
    · They may also hold the plant in place and store food and water.
    · Each variety of plant will survive where its roots size, length, and spread are adapted What part of cacti helps
    to the habitat. it to survive in its
    · Some examples of root adaptations may be: habitat?
    o Water lilies have long roots that can take in nutrients from the muddy bottoms of ponds
    or lakes. Bright, attractive
    o Cacti have roots that spread out close to the surface for living in dry habitats. flowers
    o Carrots and dandelions have a large, thick root that is longer than its other roots. This Moist fruit
    long root helps the plant survive by reaching far underground to find water and to firmly
    anchor the plant.
    Roots that spread
    close to the surface
    Stems
    · Stems move and store water and nutrients in the plant. Stems also provide support and
    protection for the plant. Some examples of stem adaptations may be:
    o Vines have stems that can climb and stick to various surfaces to ensure that the leaves are
    exposed to light.
    o Corn and sunflowers have stems that grow thick and strong but remain green and flexible
    so that they can grow toward the sun.
    o Trees develop woody stems to support their size and provide protection during their long
    life cycles.
    o Cacti have thick stems that store water when the habitat does not provide it.
    o Some stems have thorns that provide protection.
    Leaves
    · Leaves produce food for plants in the presence of light.
    · Each variety of plant will survive where its leaf size, texture, thickness, and shape are
    adapted to the habitat.
    · Some examples of leaf adaptations may be:
    o Water lilies develop wide leaves that allow them to float on the water to capture sunlight
    to make food.
    o Evergreen trees have leaves that are thin, waxy needles to protect them from freezing and
    from losing water.
    Flowers
    · Flowers often have special sizes, smells, shapes, or colors that attract organisms for
    pollination.
    Fruit
    · Fruits are formed around the seed to protect it. Some examples of fruit adaptations may be:
    o Some fruits are moist and fleshy (tomatoes, grapes, or peaches). Fleshy fruits attract
    animals that eat them helping to disperse the seeds.
    o Others fruits are dry and/or hard (coconuts, walnuts or pea pods).
    Seeds
    · Some seeds begin to grow as soon as conditions allow for germination.
    · Seeds have adaptations that allow them to be dispersed and also to have enough food for the
    plant until it begins making its own food.
