What are Plant Roots & How do they Work?

They may not be flashy, colorful, or smell the sweetest, but roots are an essential part of almost every plant. Together we will investigate and explore the structure of roots and their 3 functions through an experiment in the lab and close observation out in nature!

SCIENCE STANDARDS: NGSS 4-LS1-1 Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction. Examples of structures could include thorns, stems, roots, colored petals, heart, stomach, lung, brain, and skin. Assessment is limited to macroscopic structures within plant and animal systems. TEKS SCI.3.10.A Organisms and environments. The student knows that organisms undergo similar life processes and have structures that help them survive within their environments. The student is expected to: explore how structures and functions of plants and animals allow them to survive in a particular environment SCI.4.10.A Organisms and environments. The student knows that organisms undergo similar life processes and have structures and behaviors that help them survive within their environment. The student is expected to: explore how structures and functions enable organisms to survive in their environment #roots #howrootswork #rootexperiment #scienceexperiment #lifescience #biology #plants #rootscience #root #scienceforkids #scienceactivity #plantscience #science #ngss
