    Plants can photosynthesize to produce their own food using chlorophyll. They have roots that absorb water and minerals, a stem that supports the plant and transports nutrients, and leaves that produce food and facilitate gas exchange. Plants also have flowers that develop into fruits containing seeds. Plant stems can be woody or non-woody, and roots may store food. Leaves come in different shapes and vein patterns. The human body is made of cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems working together, such as the respiratory system which intakes oxygen, the circulatory system which transports materials, and the skeletal and muscular systems which allow for movement. The digestive system breaks down food using mechanical and chemical digestion.

    P3 Science Notes

    Plants
    Plants can make their own food as they contain chlorophyll.Food is made in the
    plants leaves via photosynthesis.
    Most plants have the following:
    Roots
    Stem
    Leaves.
    The function of the plant parts are as follows
    PART OF PLANT FUNCTION OF THE PART
    LEAVES Make food for the plant and allows for gaseous exchange to
    happen in the plant via the stomata.
    STEM Supports the plant. Sends water and food to all parts of a
    plant via phloem and xylem
    ROOTS Absorb water and mineral salts from the soil. Anchors the
    plant firmly to the ground
    FLOWER Develop into a fruit
    FRUIT Contains and protects seeds that will grow to become new
    plants

    LEAF PATTERNS
    Toothed edge Entire edge

    Network vein Parallel vein

    Stem
    Non-woodyWeak stemNeed support
    WoodyStrong stemCan stand upright without any support
    Plants with weak stems need support to grow well.
    Flowers
    Can grow singly(Hibiscus) or in clusters(Broccoli)
    Roots
    Some roots may be swollen due to storage of food here.

    Human body system


    A system is made out of parts that work together.
    Humans have many systems – Skeletal system, muscular system, circulatory
    system, olfactory system, auditory system, nervous system, digestive system,
    respiratory system.
    CellsTissueOrgansOrgan systemsOrganism
    Respiratory system
    -Takes in air needed for cellular respiration.
    -Removes unwanted air(CO2)
    -Main partsNose, windpipe, lungs

    Circulatory system
    -Transports digested food, water and air to all parts of the body and transports waste
    materials away from parts of the body to be removed
    -Contains blood, heart, blood vessels

    Skeletal system
    -Supports the body, gives the body its shape, protects major organs
    -Works with muscular system to allow for movement
    -Skull, backbone, ribcage, thighbones

    Muscular system
    Works together with skeletal system to allow for movement

    Digestive system
    Digests food using enzymes
    Main parts
    Mouth
    -Digestion begins. Saliva, which contains amylase, digests the starch in the food.
    - chewing with teeth breaks food into smaller piecesMore ESA Easier digestion
    Gullet
    -Connects mouth to stomach
    Stomach
    -produces digestive juices for digestion to take place
    - churns the foodMore ESA
    Small intestine
    - digestive juices produced here
    - digested food absorbed into bloodstream via diffusion
    Large intestine
    -water and mineral salts absorbed from undigested food
    Anus
    -undigested food discreted
