Plant Structure and Adaptations

Never look at a plant the same way again! Come explore plant structure and the many adaptations that make plants true survivors. This clip briefly compares vascular and nonvascular plant structure before jumping into several plant adaptations.

Flowering Plant Reproduction

Flowers are very complex and clever reproductive structures. The Amoeba Sisters will walk you through the parts of a flower and explain the steps of plant reproduction in angiosperms (flowering plants). We'll also talk about the importance of pollinators, like bees, and the role they play. Download the video recap.

Photosynthesis

Ready to start cooking with photosynthesis? We'll introduce you to the "recipe" for photosynthesis and discuss how the light dependent reaction and light independent reaction (Calvin cycle) work together simultaneously to create glucose for plants. We'll also explain why this is so important for humans!
