About this resource
Description
Every food on our plates starts as part of a plant. These plants we eat flash cards help children learn that carrots are roots, celery is a stem, lettuce is a leaf, broccoli is a flower, apples are fruits and corn is a seed. Young scientists connect the foods they know to the plant parts they study in science.
This plants we eat flash cards set has 18 colorful fold-over cards for Kindergarten through 3rd grade. The front of each card shows a food. Fold the card open to see the food’s name and a colored tag that names the plant part we eat. Show a picture, let children name the food and guess the plant part, then open the card to check. Children can also sort the cards into six piles: root, stem, leaf, flower, fruit and seed.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover page
- A How to Use page with prep tips, steps and extension ideas
- 6 sheets of fold-over cards (18 plant parts we eat flash cards)
- A 1st grade practice worksheet: circle the plant part we eat
- A card list answer key and a practice worksheet answer key
Why Kids Love These Plant Parts Flash Cards
First, the bright pictures make science vocabulary easy to remember, because children see a real food and learn its plant part at the same time. Second, the fold-over design lets children check themselves, which builds confidence and independence. Third, sorting foods into roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds builds the classifying skills children use all through science.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use the plant parts flash cards in a science center, a small group, or a quick review before a lesson on plants. Hold a taste test with one real food from each pile, or play a guessing game with clues like “I am a root and I am orange.” Parents can bring the cards to the grocery store and hunt for each food in the produce aisle. Older students can add new foods to each pile and explain their thinking.
