Plant habitats
In the agricultural habitat, farmers grow food for us to eat
like bean plants and orange trees. Plants near rivers and lakes,
like lotus flower and reed, need a lot of water. There isn't much
rain in the desert, so we can find acacia plant and tamarisk
there.
A plant cell
A plant is made of millions of cells. The plant cells are very
small. Chloroplasts make the plant green. You can only see them
with a microscope. The green plant cells make food for the
plant. They use sunlight, carbon dioxide and water,

The life stages of a sunflower
First, you plant the sunflower seed in the soil. You put it in
sunlight and water it. Next, the seed germinates and it starts to
grow roots under the soil. After that, the shoot grows above the
soil. It grows leaves. It gets taller. After about 4 months, the
sunflower opens and faces the sun. Finally, the sunflower dies
and drops its seeds. The process begins again.
Papyrus
Papyrus is a very special plant. It is famous because Ancient
Egyptians used papyrus to make paper. They also made sandals
and baskets from papyrus. Papyrus needs a lot of water and
warm weather to grow quickly. It grows in the Nile Delta near
