Tips
Bold words in the text are very important! You should always be able to explain what these words mean and are about. Learn and practice them well (Quizlet)
Homework assignments are good practice for your knowledge of the topics. Be sure to also correct them and learn from mistakes!
Practice is paramount! Test yourself using: practice questions, practice tests, flashcards, lessonup, Digital Book, AI, helpful sites with practice material
Make use of the Biology-AI, They can help you: practice, understand, explain, make practice material.
6.1 The basics
Remember: I can name the main organs of a plant and describe their basic functions.
Understand: I can explain how all the organs of a plant work together as one system.
Apply: I can describe the stages of a plant’s life cycle using the example of the common bean.
6.2 Roots
Remember: I can identify the two types of root systems by naming their structure and giving one example of each.
Understand: I can explain how osmosis helps roots take in water by describing the movement of water from the soil into the plant.
Apply: I can use the concept of surface area to explain why root hairs help a plant absorb water more efficiently.
Analyse: I can analyse the function and short lifespan of root hairs by explaining why a plant needs to constantly grow new ones..
Skip: The inside of a root, plants communicate
Do study: What are root hairs?
6.3 Stems
Remember: I can define the difference between woody and herbaceous plants by naming at least two characteristics of each type.
Understand: I can explain how vascular bundles work by describing their role in the transport of water, minerals, and nutrients in plants.
Apply: I can use the concept of osmosis and evaporation to describe how water is pushed and pulled up through the stem, using correct biological terms in a short explanation.
Analyze: I can analyse annual rings by identifying what thick and thin layers say about the growing conditions in a given year.
Skip: Parts of a stem, The stem of a tree: the trunk
6.4 Leaves: the green machine
Remember: I can list the ingredients needed for photosynthesis and the products that result from it
Understand: I can explain how photosynthesis works by using the terms sunlight, water, carbon dioxide, glucose and oxygen correctly.
Apply: I can use the structure of a leaf to explain how it supports photosynthesis and limits water loss.
Analyse: I can analyse the effect of limiting factors on the rate of photosynthesis by giving examples of different environmental conditions.
6.5 Flowers
Remember: I can name the parts of a flower and describe whether they belong to the male or female reproductive organ.
Understand: I can explain the function of each part of a flower in reproduction.
Apply: I can label a diagram of a flower with the correct names and functions.
Analyse: I can compare flowers of different species by identifying variation in structure and function.
6.6 a game of attraction
Remember: I can define self-pollination and cross-pollination and give an example of each.
Understand: I can explain how pollination by insects, animals or wind works and what features flowers have to attract pollinators.
Apply: I can use the characteristics of flowers to predict if they are insect- or wind-pollinated.
Analyse: I can compare wind- and insect-pollinated plants by identifying differences in structure and pollination strategies.
Skip: Perfect and imperfect flowers
6.7 Melting together
Remember: I can describe the process of fertilisation in plants using the correct terms (pollen tube, ovule, egg cell).
Understand: I can explain how fertilisation leads to seed and fruit formation.
Apply: I can use examples like apples and peaches to explain differences in seed and fruit development.
Analyse: I can analyse how fertilisation leads to variation in fruit structure by comparing different plant species.
6.10 Asexual reproduction
Remember: I can list different types of asexual reproduction in plants (bulbs, corms, tubers, rhizomes, runners, cuttings, grafts, spores).
Understand: I can explain how each type of asexual reproduction works and what advantages or disadvantages it has.
Apply: I can use examples like strawberries and onions to describe how new plants grow without seeds.
Analyse: I can analyse the difference between sexual and asexual reproduction in terms of genetic variation and survival.
