5th Grade – SCIENCE – Unit 2
Dear 5th graders,
I have prepared a lot of stuff for our new unit of Science, plants. But before we start I would like you took a look at the concept map I have made. Once more, remember that in order to run the application you must have Java installed on your computer. In case you don’t have it yet you can download it from here. It’s very easy and it will only take you two minutes. If you have problems with the installation you can always download a printed version of the map from here.
Alright, here we go! Look at this interesting WEBSITES:
Watch these two animated diagrams of the elements involved in photosynthesis (on land and marine):

A great presentation by… a bee! See the different parts of a plant, how a plant grows and, finally, learn about pollination:

Learn about the parts of a flower including the male and female parts and their role in pollination:

Find out how pollination takes place and how seeds are then dispersed away from the parent plant:
