Science Classifying Plants

It is essential for students to know that many organisms –such as

Plants can further be divided into flowering or nonflowering plants.

Plants are organisms that are made of many parts and are capable of making their own food. Many different types of plants have been identified. Some plants produce flowers while other plants do not produce flowers.

Flowering plant Flowering plants are those plants that make seeds within

flowers. Some flowers become the fruits that contain seeds. Examples are grasses, roses, oak trees, fruit trees,

tomatoes, or bean plants.

Nonflowering plants Nonflowering plants are those plants that make seeds

within cones or produce spores instead of seeds. Some examples of nonflowering plants are pines, spruce,

or cedar trees that produce cones, and ferns, mosses, and lichens that produce spores.

The life cycle of most plants starts from a seed. A seed is a baby plant and contains nutrients necessary to start the life of a new plant. Seeds come in different shapes and sizes.Germination - When a seed gets proper light, water, and warmth, its outer hard layer becomes smooth and it starts germinating. A seed will not germinate without these conditions.Seedling - The roots come out first and grow downward. This is called a seedling, which is a small plant with few leaves. Then the stem comes out and grows upward.Young Plant - The seedling takes up water and minerals from the soil and grow into a young plant.Mature Plant - Soon the young plant becomes mature and produces flowers. Flowers have pollen inside that helps make seeds.Dispersal - Needs of a Plant Seeds get dispersed away to new places and the plant life cycle begins again. Seeds can be dispersed away by wind, water, or animals
