Food We Get
From Plants
Tea! The top 2 leaves
are snipped from tea
bushes. Did you know
a tea bush can live for
50-100 years?
Pumpkins! They grow up
from the ground. Did you
know that some
pumpkins can get up to
50 pounds?
Apples! Apple trees can
be found all over the
place! Watch out for
worms. 

beans come from cacao
(ka-KOW) trees. Did you
know that 70% of cocoa
beans are found in
Africa?
Peanuts! The peanut
plant grows yellow
flowers that last only one
day. Did you know that
you can grow your own
by planting a raw peanut
in the ground?

Photosynthesis
Plants need to eat food too! The way that
plants eat is through photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis uses three things…the sun,
water, and carbon dioxide (air).
The sunlight comes and hits the leaves,
the air comes in through little holes in the
plant and the water comes up from the
roots. These all mix together with
chlorophyll to make the food (sugar or
glucose) for the plant to eat!

 Take a walk around the neighborhood and
look for plants and their parts.
 Collect samples of many different types of
leaves. Make a collection of the leaves
that you find. Dry the leaves between
sheets of newspaper. Put a heavy book on
top and leave them for a week or more.
Tape the leaves to sheets of construction
paper or iron the leaves between sheets of
wax paper. (Before using an iron, ask an
adult to help you!) Then look at the
different shapes of the leaves.
 Have a tasting party. Sample raw or
cooked root vegetables such as carrots,
beets, turnips, rutabagas, or radishes.
