2. A system is made up of different
parts that work together to carry
out a certain function.
It can be simple like a
toothbrush . . .or complex like a
computer.
3. A plant is made up of
3 main parts such as
leaves, stem and roots. stem
leaves
Each part has its own
function and they work
together to help the plant
live and grow well. roots

10. A leaf is made up of different parts.
Leaf stalk
Veins
Leaf blade
11. A leaf is made up of different parts.
Leaf stalk
The leaf stalk supports the
leaf blade.
It is also a passageway
for water and nutrients
to reach the leaf.
12. A leaf is made up of different parts.
Veins
These veins contains tiny
tubes called xylem and
phloem.
Phloem carries the food
made in the leaf to the rest
of the plant.
Xylem brings water from
the roots to the leaf.
13. A leaf is made up of different parts.
The leaf blade is the thin,
flat surface of the leaf.
Photosynthesis takes
place mostly in the blade
Photosynthesis is the
process whereby plants
make food in the presence
of light.
Leaf blade
14. Leaves are attached
to the stem.
Most plants are green
because they contain
chlorophyll.
Like animals, plants
need food for survival.
How do plants obtain their food?
15. Like animals, plants
need food for survival.
Unlike animals, plants
make their own food.
The leaves of plants
can make food for the
plants.
16. Leaves are like food factories because they make
food during a process called photosynthesis.
Green plants make use of
carbon dioxide from the
air, water from the soil
and sunlight to make
food.
Chlorophyll that is found
in the leaves helps plants
to trap the energy from
the sun.

veins can be clearly seen.
17. Leaves come in
different shapes, sizes
and colours.
The shape of the
leaves can help us to
identify the plant.
21. • A plant is a system made up of
different parts.
• Each part has its own function(s)
and different parts work together to
make sure the plants grow well.
• Plants have leaves, stems and
roots.
22. • A leaf has a leaf blade, veins and
sometimes, a leaf stalk.
• The leaves make food for the
plant.
• Leaves can be classified based
on their colours, shapes or the
types of edges they have.
