GSEM: Edible Plant Parts

GSEM Home Lessons Resources

Students will investigate how plant form relates to structure through observation and dissection of an assortment of plants and vegetables. They will learn to locate and label the parts humans use for food (i.e. seeds, stem, leaf, fruit, root, flower). Students will be able to classify plant foods as fruit, vegetable, tuber, or roots.
