The World of Plants (Science Readers: Life Science)
Connect content-area literacy and science with differentiated readers featuring lab activities and profiles of related scientitists. All plants need sun, water, air, and food to grow. Plants are anchored to the ground by their roots, which take in nutrients from the soil. Stems and stalks hold up plants and give them shape, and also hold the plumbing system of the plant. Leaves are the place where food is made for the plant. Many plants make crops for us to eat.
