Double Jeopardy
Define structures
The parts that make up
an organism’s body.
Define nutrients
Substances, such as
minerals, which all living
things need in order to
grow
What is germination?
When a seed sprouts
Define functions
The jobs that structures
perform
Where does Carbon
Dioxide and Oxygen
come from and who
uses them?
Carbon dioxide is given off by
animals and taken in by
plants.
Oxygen is given off by plants
and taken in by animals.
What are the two types
of leaves?
Needle leaves
and broad leaves
What are the two types
of stems?
Woody stems and
flexible stems
What is a characteristic
of woody stems and what
plants have woody
stems?
Woody stems and stiff
and hard. The outer
bark protects the inside.
Trees and bushes have
woody stems.
What are the
characteristics of a
flexible stem and what
types of plants have
them?
A flexible stem is soft
and bendable. Flowers
have flexible stems.

like a straw to move water and
•Seed •Acts
nutrients to other parts of the plant
•Can travel by wind, water or
animals to a new location before it
will germinate.
•Stem- Acts like a straw to move
water and nutrients to other parts of the
plant
•Roots - Takes in water and
nutrients from the soil.
•Leaves- Has tiny holes to take in
CO2 and let out oxygen and moisture
•Seed - Can travel by wind, water or
animals to a new location before it will
germinate.
What is photosynthesis?
The process by which a
plant makes its own
food.
What does a plant need
for the photosynthesis to
happen?
Carbon Dioxide
Water
Sunlight
How does a plant use
sunlight in the process
of photosynthesis?
It provides the energy
for the process to occur.
How does a plant use
water & carbon dioxde?
It takes the water in
through the roots or leaves
and takes in the carbon
dioxide in through the
leaves. They mix together
to make food (sugar).
Where and what traps the
sunlight for energy for the
process of photosynthesis?
The leaves trap the
sunlight in the
chlorophyll and turns it
into energy.
The function of the
taproot.
The plant’s single main
root that goes deep into
the soil and holds the
plant in place.
The function of fibrous
roots
They are long roots that
grow near the surface
for collecting water and
nutrients for the plants.
Explain the process
of transpiration.
The process in which
plants give off water
vapors through tiny
wholes in the leaves.
How do seeds and spores
travel or disperse, so that
plants will reproduce in
different places?
They will travel by water, wind
and on an animals or by
animals.
(Click the picture to watch the 10 minute video
on how seeds disperse.)
The difference between
a spore and a seed.
•Seeds have many cells and come
from flowering plants like apples,
lilies and daisies.
•Spores are microscopic and only
have one cell and come from non
flowering plants like ferns and
fungi.
This is a pitcher plant.
Can you explain its
unusual adaptation? It
caught bugs in the
pitcher.
The pitcher plant attracts
bugs and drowns them.
It uses the bugs to extra
nutrients, since the soil
where it grows has poor
nutrients.
Cacti have an adaptation that allows them to
survive in the desert. Can you explain it?
Cacti have fibrous roots that are
close to the surface of the soil.
Watch the video and
explain the adaptations
of a vine.
(Click picture for 30 second video)
•The vine grows upward to
reach maximum sunlight.
•It will cling and wrap around
objects so that it can grow
upwards.
Watch the video and
explain the adaptation of
the Water Lilly.
(Click picture for 5 minute video)
•The roots hold the lily in the place
at the bottom of the pond.
•The leaf grows upward to the
surface of the water and the opens
to collect sunlight for energy.
•The flower attracts insects to digest
for more nutrients.
What is the unusual
adaptation of this plant?
•The Venus fly trap gets
additional nutrients that it needs
by digesting insects and animals.
•When an animal or insect
touches its trigger hairs, it closes
and traps it.

Final Jeopardy
Everything that surrounds
and affects an animal, plant
or any living thing, including
living and non-living things
is called what?
Environment
A body part, structure or
behavior that helps an
animal or a living thing
meets its needs in its
environment is what?
Adaptation
What is camouflage?
An animal’s pattern or
color
The material on the
outside of a plant or
animal that helps protect
the organism
Body Covering
A pattern of changes
that happen during an
organism’s life
Life Cycle
What would happen if
we had no plants?
There would be no
oxygen for us to
breathe.
True or False
Plants need oxygen from
the air to survive.
False
What if there was no
food for all living things?
Animals and plants and
all living things need
food to survive. They
would die.
What if plants had no
soil? Can they survive?
Yes. Plants can grow in
just water but they need
nutrients added to the
water to survive.
What if there was no
carbon dioxide in the air?
Plants would not have
the gas they need to
survive and breathe.
Why are the plants not growing?
This plant may
need water.
These plants may
need water and
sunlight.
If you want to start an
experiment, what is the
first step you need to do?
Ask a scientific question
What is the "if then”
statement in the scientific
process that includes your
variables for the experiment?
Hypothesis
During which step of the
scientific process do you
make a list of material,
procedures and collect data?
During the Experiment
Name the six steps of the
scientific process in order
1.Ask a question
2.Research the topic
3.Make a hypothesis
4.Test with an experiment
5.Draw a conclusion
6.Report your results
