Using annotated diagrams, learners show sources and point of entry of the essential materials into the plants. Learners are guided to conduct an experiment to show the effect of water on plants’ survival. Learners are assigned to find out the specific functions of oxygen, carbon
Dioxide, sunlight and water in the survival of plants
