Flowers are an important structure for a plant. The flower is where a plant creates pollen in order to create a seed.
This closeup of a hibiscus flower shows all the pollen in the hibiscus flower.
Slide 70 / 127
Flowers sometimes need help to get their pollen to another flower. Can you think of an animal that helps with this? Click the flower to see one example.
Flowers
Slide 71 / 127
Flowers
Many different animals are attracted to the pretty colors and sweet taste of flowers. When they carry pollen from one flower to another, they help the flowers to make seeds.
Slide 72 / 127
After pollen is carried to a different plant, that plant can then make a seed.
What does a seed look like?
(Look at the pictures below for a hint.)
Seeds
Slide 73 / 127
FruitSeeds are carried in fruit. When animals eat the fruit, they carry seeds to new places. After seeds fall into the soil, a new plant can grow.
Seeds can be on the outside
or the inside of the fruit.
Slide 74 / 127

Stems
The stem of a flower supports the flower so that it does not fall over.
Stem
Slide 80 / 127
Stems
The stem also carries food and water to different areas of the plant.
Slide 81 / 127
Stems
Some stems are covered in other external structures that protect the plants. Do you recognize the structures in these pictures?
Slide 82 / 127
Stems
The stem of this tree is covered in something brown and bumpy. Do you know what this is called?
Bark
Slide 83 / 127
Bark
Bark is a thick outer covering of trees. It protects trees from injury the same way our skin protects us. If you remove bark from a tree, it can die!

Bay Fig TreeWhat do you notice about the external structures of this bay fig tree?
Slide 87 / 127
Bay Fig TreeThis bay fig tree has a lot of large roots.
Can you think of how this would help the tree to survive?
Slide 88 / 127
Roots
All plants have roots. Roots bring water into the plant from the soil. They also help to support the plant.
These roots grow into the ground to bring water to the plant.

Walking Field Trip: Plant Structures
How many different plant structures can you find around your school?
Hot! Hot! Hot!What would happen if you accidentally put your hand on a hot stove burner?
What would your hand do?
Slide 100 / 127
Hot! Hot! Hot!
When your hand touches something hot, it automatically jerks away.
How does our hand know to do this?
Slide 101 / 127
Our bodies are constantly monitoring what is happening around us. When our hand touches something hot, this information is sent to our brain. Next, our brain sends information back to our hand, telling it to pull away.
When our brain takes information and creates an action, it is called a response .
Response
Slide 102 / 127
Our brains create responses to things we · see· hear· touch· taste· smell
Can you think of another name for these?
Our Senses
Response
Slide 103 / 127
Senses
Animals use senses to gather information about their environments. The brain takes this information to make a response.
The sense of touch is very important for a snake. He touches things around him with its tongue.
