End of Unit Science Test This Thursday!

This Thursday students will take an End-of-Unit test on Plants. Here's a quick rundown of the things they'll need to know for Thursday's test:

*What a plant needs to grow
*The parts of a plant and what each one does
*What a plant takes in and gives off during photosynthesis
*The three main differences between deciduous and coniferous trees
*How a flower is pollinated
*The four main ways that a plant scatters its seeds, and why a plant needs to scatter its seeds
*The following vocabulary:

seed
seed coat
seedling
sprout
germinate
roots
stem
leaves
flower
photosynthesis
carbon dioxide
oxygen
chlorophyll
deciduous trees
coniferous trees

I will post a review quiz online later today or tomorrow for students to use to practice for the test. They will also have homework next week that will prepare them for the test.
