LISTEN AND READ

Plants are born and grow. Some plants, like geraniums, grow very quickly. Others, like oak trees, grow very slowly.

Plants make their own food. They use their roots to get water and minerals from the soil. Plants use this mixture and sunlight to make food in their leaves.

Like animals, plants reproduce. All plants are born from other plants.

Plants react to their surroundings. If the air is too cold or hot, they will not grow well. Plants cannot move from one place to another. However, they can grow towards light, and the roots can grow towards water in the ground.
