Kavi's Mystery Plant

Kavi lands beside a sunflower 🌻 with a magnifying glass 🔍. "A good scientist makes a plan, looks closely, then says what they found!" Kavi spots four parts: a root hiding under the soil, a stem standing tall, flat green leaves and a bright flower. "Every part has its own job — let's find out what they are!"

What your child will learn

1Meet the four partsOur question: what parts does a plant have, and what does each one do? Our plan: look closely at a real plant 🔍 and describe each part — then tap to check.
2What does each part do?Scientists predict first, then check. What do you think each part does?
3Stem or flower?Look closely! How is a stem different from a flower? Tap each card.
4Part of the plant, or not?When we look at a plant, we find parts — and other things too. Sort what we found!

A peek inside

Kavi asks: which part drinks water from the soil? 💧
Plan: water the soil. Observe: the water sinks down to the thin roots. Conclude: the root drinks it.
