Before we start, let's go over some key vocabulary when talking about plants.

Leaves are parts of a plant that make food for the pant.

Roots are the part of a plant that take in water from the ground.





The stem (which connects the roots to other plant parts and also holds up the plant),

and the flower (which is the part that makes the leaves).



Sunlight is light from the sun. Plants need water, light, air, and space to live. Most plants get light from the sun. Light from the sun is called sunlight.



Some plants need a lot of light, other plants do not need much light. Some plants need more water than other plants. A plant's leaves may sag if they do not get enough water. You can grow healthy plants if you know how what they need.



Which plant is not getting enough water?

Plants need space to get the air, sunlight, and water they need. Large plants need a lot of space to grow. Small plants do not need as much space as large plants.

Big trees need more space than small flowers. How are the needs of large plants and small plants different? (Large plants need more space than small plants)
