Learn how to identify and classify each part of a plant, and take a closer look at the types of plants that you regularly eat.
Have you ever looked closely at a salad? There might be crisp green lettuce leaves, bright orange carrots, juicy tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, eggplant, or maybe even some sunflower seeds as a topping! You might not realize it as you’re eating lunch, but all these plant foods come from different parts of the plant.
In this activity, kids will observe plants in their neighborhood, determine their various parts, then sketch out their favorite meal and explore the plants that are a part of it.
This activity is part of our 4-H at Home Plant Science Series. See the rest of the activities here.
