Plant Biology Concepts and Responses

Teacher Jonathan reviews plant characteristics, including breathing, growth, death, environmental response, and reproduction. The class takes a nature walk to observe these traits in real plants, such as breathing through transpiration, growth from seedlings, and response to environmental changes. Students are tasked with finding photos of these characteristics for future reference.
