SCIENCE YEAR 4

By: Puan Khairul Bariah

4.1.1 State that plants respond to stimuli through observation using various media

LET'S WATCH A VIDEO

Multiple Select

From the video, plants respond to stimuli such as...

• water

• sunlight

• gravitational pull

• touch

4.1.2 Relate parts of plants that respond to different types of stimuli.

PARTS OF PLANTS THAT RESPOND TO DIFFERENTS TYPES OF STIMULI

Roots respond and grow towards water.

Roots grow downwards towards gravitational pull.

Multiple Select

What is gravitational pull?

• Its is a force that pulls object towards Earth

• Its is a force that pushes object away from Earth

• It is a force that make objects remain in their position
