1. Classification & Processes

2. PLANTS: How are plants divided up? How are they related? How are they different? Nomenclature:(naming of species) 3. PLANTS Nonvascular Vascular Mosses Lichens NOT A PLANT: Fungi/ mushrooms SEEDS NO-SEEDS Angiosperms Gymnosperms Monocots Dicots Conifers NO-SEEDS Ferns Horsetails 4.

Nonvascular plants(lacking vessels), short & delicate

Mosses

1. cling to damp soil, rocks, shady trees

2. are tiny plants (1-2 inches tall)

3. leaves are only 1-2 cells thick

4. anchored withrhizoids(hair-like fibers)-not roots.

5. seedless; grow fromspores

a)lichens : grow on tree; looks like scales/shells

b)fungi/mushrooms : grow on the ground

II.Vascular: having vessels, divided into Seedless & seeds

SEEDLESS SEEDS Vascular 8. B.SEEDLESS : do not have seeds;use spores to reproduce, grow tall & thick EXAMPLE:fern http://www.freefoto.com/images/9909/06/9909_06_6179---Fern_web.jpg?&k=Fern http://www.shadegarden.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/cinnamon-fern.jpg http://eatdrinkbetter.com/2008/05/05/lovin-fresh-fiddlehead-ferns/ 9. SEEDS: GYMNOSPERMS ANGIOSPERMS Gymnosperms(naked seed); noflowers; oldest kind of seed plants,they like cold/dry climates,use sexual reproduction,produce seeds on female cones http://www.netstate.com/states/symb/flowers/images/pine_cone_tassel.jpg 10. Conifer http://www.bentler.us/eastern-washington/plants/trees/ponderosa.aspx http://www.panzhihua-university.com/pictures/cycads.jpg Cycad http://www.gardenexpress.com.au/images/P/Cycad-01.jpg 11.

Angiosperms(flowering) produceflowers, form the largests division in plantkingdom; live lots of places/climates

• form seeds inside their fruits

• Use sexual reproduction/pollination

• Examples: fruits, vegetables, grains, most nuts

• Have a seed leaf or COTYLEDONS (2 kinds)

Angiosperms MONOCOTS DICOTS 12.

COTYLEDONS:

Monocotshave one cotyledon, (corn, rice, wheat, grasses)

Dicotshave 2 cotyledons (bean plant, roses, cacti)

Parts of a plant:What are they for?

Seeds

Roots

Stem

Leaves

Flowers

Makes more of the plant (babies)

Takes in water, anchors it, stops erosion

Holds up plant, water up & down

Makes food for the plant, breathes

Attracts a pollinator to make a seed

15. 16. Plant Life cycle 17. What do plants need to survive? water Air(carbon dioxide) Soil (minerals) sunlight 18.

Important processes:

Germinationprocess by which a seed sprouts

Pollinationprocess of spreading pollen to fertilize a flowers egg to make a seed

Transpirationleaves releasing water into the air

Respiration leaves releasing oxygen

Photosynthesisplants turn sunlight into food

PLANT LABS:

Leaves:Identify & graph your collection into journal; view & draw fern spores; Answer questions in Plant Journal.

Flowers:identify & draw 5 local spring flowers on white paper.Glue into journal. Roots:identify fibrous & taproots; draw 7 label root parts in journal;Answer questions in Plant Journal.

Seeds:seed dissection:label 3 parts of the seed into journal; observe pine nuts in pinecones-- sketch into journal;Answer questions in Plant Journal.

Stems:Compare three different types of bark.Notice the color & texture.How do the grains run?Is there a pattern?Create a bark rubbing with a dark crayon (rubbed sideways).Sketch the three specimens.
