Talking Points
- Plants need sunlight to make food. You can say, "Just like we need food to grow, plants need sunlight to make their own food."
- Water helps plants stay healthy and grow. You can say, "Plants drink water through their roots, just like we drink water to stay healthy."
- Plants need soil to anchor their roots and get nutrients. You can say, "Soil is like a house for plants, giving them a place to stand and get their food."
- Each plant is unique and grows at its own pace. You can say, "Just like you and your friends grow differently, plants also grow in their own special way."
