DIFFERENT PROJECTS FOR ART CLASS

 Hello Children! How are you this evening? I hope you are well and happy.

Tomorrow   ART  

      Os propongo para mañana seis differents projects

1.- Use crayons to draw a scientist travelling really fast.

2.- Use felt tip to draw a giant wheel of cheese eating a massive sandwich.

3.- Make a mostly green picture of a lazy lion doing the robot.

4.- Do a charcoal  drawing of a carrot trying to put on some clothes.

5.- Use four colours to draw a very clean cowboy carrying a donkey.
6.-Use only two colours to draw a monster that could live under your  bed building a castle.

         Tomorrow we are going to do the projects in group. Three or four pupils in every group.
          

        Estáis a tiempo de formar los grupos y elegir el tema para vuestros trabajos. Para los que no se han acercado a estas páginas, mañana nos organizaremos.


                           GOOD EVENING!  SEE YOU TOMORROW!

PLANT PARTS

Plant Parts

Roots

Basic parts of most all plants are roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds.
The roots help provide support by anchoring the plant and absorbing water and nutrients needed for growth. They can also store sugars and carbohydrates that the plant uses to carry out other functions. Plants can have either a taproot system (such as carrots) or a fibrous root system (such as turf grass). In both cases, the roots are what carries the water and nutrients needed for plants to grow.

Stems
 
Stems carry water and nutrients taken up by the roots to the leaves. Then the food produced by the leaves moves to other parts of the plant. The cells that do this work are called the xylem cells. They move water. The phloem cells move the food. Stems also provide support for the plant allowing the leaves to reach the sunlight that they need to produce food. Where the leaves join the stem is called the node. The space between the leaves and the stem is called the internode. You'll find out why this is so important as the mystery develops.

Leaves

Leaves are the food making factories of green plants. Leaves come in many different shapes and sizes. Leaves can be simple. They are made of a single leaf blade connected by a petiole to the stem. An oak leaf or a maple leaf are examples. A compound leaf is a leaf made up of separate leaflets attached by a petiole to the stem like an ash or a locust.
Leaves are made to catch light and have openings to allow water and air to come and go. The outer surface of the leaf has a waxy coating called a cuticle which protects the leaf. Veins carry water and nutrients within the leaf.
Leaves are the site of the food making process called photosynthesis. In this process, carbon dioxide and water in the presence of chlorophyll (the green pigment) and light energy are changed into glucose (a sugar). This energy rich sugar is the source of food used by most plants.
Photosynthesis is unique to green plants! Photosynthesis supplies food for the plant and oxygen for other forms of life.
A green plant helped make the oxygen you are breathing today.
