Getting to Know Plants: the Chapter Story
A short read for Class 3 before you play. These notes are written for this page and are not copied from the textbook.
🚶 A walk to school
Gopu, Simmi and Raj walk to school every day and notice flowers, mountains, streams and plants of many sizes and shapes. Some leaves are rough and some are smooth.
🌳 Trees
Raj loves the jamun tree with its thick shiny leaves, tiny white flowers and fruits that turn from green to red to purple. Trees have a big trunk, many branches and deep roots.
🌿 Shrubs, herbs and grasses
Shrubs, like the tulsi at Simmi’s home, have several woody stems. Herbs, like mint and tomato, have soft green stems. Grasses have thin flat leaves, and rice and wheat are seeds of large grasses.
🌱 Climbers and creepers
A money plant climbs up a wall, and a pumpkin plant creeps along the ground. Their stems are thin and flexible.
🍃 Leaves and smells
Leaves differ in colour, shape and smell. Raj’s brother, who cannot see, can recognise fruits like mango and guava by their smell.
🍅 Parts of a plant
A tomato plant helps us see roots, stem, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds. Children also make friends with a plant and do a bark rubbing.
