00:00Hi kids, today we will learn about plants.
00:07So let's start.
00:10We all see a lot of plants around us in our daily lives.
00:16Plants are there at our homes, in our garden, on the roadside, and almost just everywhere.
00:24Now let's try to understand how important plants are for us.
00:32Plants are very important for all the living things.
00:37Most of our needs are met through plants.
00:41We eat different plants and its parts as food.
00:48Like we eat fruits, vegetables, there are all parts of plants.
00:56All the herbivorous animals eat plants to live, and then carnivores and omnivores, animals,
01:05eat them.
01:07That is the herbivorous animals as food.
01:11Owls and buffalos eat plants to live.
01:16Then they give us milk that we drink.
01:20So plants are the primary source of food for all of us.
01:26Plants purifies the air for all other living beings to breathe.
01:32Plants take in carbon dioxide from the air and gives oxygen into it.
01:39And all animals, including humans, need oxygen to breathe.
01:44So plants provide us oxygen to breathe.
01:50Plants provide shelter to many birds and insects.
01:55So many birds make their nests on trees.
01:59Even we need plants for shelter, as plants provide wood for our furniture and so many
02:07things for our house.
02:11Most of the medicine are made from the various parts of different plants.
02:16Now let's see different parts of plants.
02:21Plants have different parts.
02:23Let's learn.
02:26These are the roots of the plants that help the plant to stay upright.
02:32It fixes the plant into the soil and also help plants absorb water and nutrients from
02:39the soil.
02:42These are leaves of plants.
02:45Leaves are called the food factory of the plants.
02:50Leaves help plant prepare its food using the sunlight.
02:56These are fruits of plants.
02:59Fruits store the food of the plant.
03:04This is the stem of the plant.
03:07It helps the plant stand upright and transports the water and minerals to every part of the
03:14plant.
03:16These are branches of the plants.
03:19These are flowers.
03:23Flowers produce seeds for the plants.
03:26There are many different types of plants.
03:29Different plants differ in sizes, shapes and color.
03:36Plants vary in size from very small to very big plants.
03:42Leaves of plants also differ in shape and size and color.
03:49Kids, let's see what are seeds.
03:54Almost all the fruits have one or the other type of seed in them, like mango has a big
04:03seed inside it.
04:06Papaya has so many small black seeds inside it.
04:13Watermelon has so many black seeds inside it.
04:18Apple has a few small black seeds inside it.
04:25Strawberries has so many seeds outside it.
04:30Strawberry is the only fruit that has seeds outside it.
04:36These are small seeds that are outside the fruit.
04:44Seeds come in different sizes, weights, colors and textures.
04:51Here are a few seeds.
04:56Apple has small seeds which are light in weight and black in color.
05:03Peach has a big seed which is heavy and brown.
05:09Mango too has a big heavy and white seed.
05:16Watermelon has small light and black, so many seeds.
05:23Papaya has small light and black seeds.
05:28Strawberry has small light and brown seeds.
05:32Remember, it's the only fruit which has seeds outside it.
05:38Kids, can you tell me seeds are living things or non-living things?
05:46Let's see.
05:48Each seed contains the things it needs to grow into a new plant.
05:54If a seed gets suitable environment like water, sunlight, warmth and an adequate amount,
06:02a small plant comes out of it.
06:06So kids, although seeds do not eat, move or have senses, they are living things because
06:14they can grow into new plants in a suitable environment.
06:21So kids, today we learned a lot about plants.
06:26Now you may go ahead and take a quiz to learn more.
06:30Bye-bye!
