How Plants Drink Fog! | SciShow Kids

Trees need water to grow, so how do Redwood trees get so big, despite the fact that it gets so dry? First Grade Next Generation Science Standards Crosscutting Concept: Structure and Function: The way an object is shaped or structured determines many of its properties and functions. Disciplinary Core Idea: LS1.A: Structure and Function - All organisms have external parts. Different animals use their body parts in different ways to see, hear, grasp objects, protect themselves, move from place to place, and seek, find, and take in food, water and air. Plants also have different parts (roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits) that help them survive and grow (1-LS1-1). Performance Expectation: 1-LS1-1 Use materials to design a solution to a human problem by mimicking how plants and/or animals use their external parts to help them survive, grow, and meet their needs. Second Grade Next Generation Science Standards Crosscutting Concept: Structure and Function: The way an object is shaped or structured determines many of its properties and functions. Disciplinary Core Ideas: PS1.A: Structure and Properties of Matter - Matter can be described and classified by its observable properties (2-PS1-1). LS2.A: Interdependent Relationships in Ecosystems - Plants depend on water and light to grow (2-LS2-1). Performance Expectations: 2-PS1-1 Plan and conduct an investigation to describe and classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties. 2-LS2-1. Plan and conduct and investigation to determine if plants need sunlight and water to grow.
