USEFUL VIDEOS TO STUDY PLANTS IN 3RD GRADE

Hi everybody!!

Did you know that we cannot live without plants? Plants are crucial for humans. Thanks to them we can breath and live on this beautiful planet because they produce oxygen and help forming the ozone layer that protects us from dangerous sunrays.  These are some of the reasons why we study plants in third grade.

However, this unit is complicated due to the range of new and diverse vocabulary and concepts we should embrace. In order to make the learning easier, teachers invite you to watch the following videos:

PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Do you know how plants and trees make food for themselves? Have you ever heard the word ``photosynthesis´´? Join Dr. Binocs and Mr. Tree as they tell you more about photosynthesis.

POLLINATION

Do you wonder how reproduction occurs in plants? Join Dr. Binocs to learn different parts of a flower and the process of pollination while he explains the structre of flower and function of each part in detail with the process of pollination. 

We hope you like it! ;)
