About Plant Power
Plants are everywhere, and they feed almost every living thing on Earth. Plant Power starts with the parts of a plant on a clear labelled picture, then explores the parts we eat: a carrot is a root, broccoli is a cluster of flower buds, and a potato is actually a swollen stem. Questions about what plants need are carefully worded: most plants grow in soil because it gives them nutrients and holds their roots, but some farms grow plants in water with added nutrients instead.
Children in Reception to Year 1 can start with Parts of a plant, and What plants need suits Year 2. Seeds & life cycles, for Year 3, covers germination and how seeds travel by wind, water and animals. Pollination & photosynthesis, for Years 4–5, explains how bees and the wind carry pollen and how leaves use light, water and carbon dioxide to make food and give off oxygen.

Frequently asked questions
What do plants need to grow?
Most plants need light, water, air, warmth and nutrients, plus space to grow. Soil supplies nutrients and holds the roots, but plants can also be grown without soil (hydroponics) if nutrients are added to the water.
What is photosynthesis in simple words?
Photosynthesis is how plants make their own food. Leaves use energy from light to turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar, and they give off oxygen, which we breathe.
Is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable?
To a botanist (a plant scientist), a tomato is a fruit, because it grows from a flower and holds seeds. In the kitchen, people often call it a vegetable because it is used in salads, sauces and main meals.
