🌱 Helping with Plants
Everything you need to help — without doing it for them.
🧭 Simple explanation (for you)
Plants need water, light and air. Roots drink water from the soil, the stem carries it up, leaves catch sunlight to make food, and flowers make seeds.
❓ Questions to ask
- “What do plants need?”
- “What does the root do?”
- “Why do leaves face the light?”
- “What will happen if we stop watering?”
💡 Hints (not answers)
- Grow a bean together
- Label the parts on a drawing
- Compare two plants: light vs dark
- Keep a plant journal
