Your feet are permanently encased in a block of concrete. YOU CAN NOT MOVE AROUND! • What would you need & do to ensure survival? THINK ABOUT IT!
Plants: • Plants are much like us with our feet encased in concrete… • They can not move around. • They must have water to survive. • They must have nutrients to live. • They must have a way to stand tall in order to obtain sunlight. • They must have a way for water & nutrients & food to reach all parts of the plant.
Origin: Where did Plants Come from? • Which organisms did land plants evolve from? How did it all begin? BRAINSTORM • Scientists studied ____________ or dead life forms preserved in rock • The oldest plant fossils are _____million years old! Wow! FOSSILS 400

Plant Life Cycle • Stage 1: Sporophyte (SPOH ruhfyt) Stage • Production of SPORES tiny cells that grow into new organisms • Stage 2: Gametophyte (guhMEE tuhfyt) Stage • Plant produces two kinds of cells: sperm & egg • Stage 3:Sperm and Egg Cells Join and become a ZYGOTE or fertilized egg. • ZYGOTE develops into a Sporophyte & the process begins all over again.
