Plants by Ruth Owen

Can plant roots move to find water? How do plants make their own food and the oxygen we need to breathe? Why have some plants become carnivorous bug catchers? And how do animals help disperse seeds?

This information-packed look at the world of plants is perfect for curriculum work and for discovering the fascinating secret world of plants.

• Visit the Svalbard Global Seed Vault on an island in the Arctic Ocean where seeds from around the world are kept in a high-security building under an ice-covered mountain to protect them from disease and future climate change.
• Explore plant reproduction, including how flowering and cone-bearing plants produce seeds, how mosses and ferns create new plants using spores, and how some plants reproduce asexually.
• Learn how to classify plants and find out about conservationists who are working to protect wild plants.
• Meet plants such as a tree with a rainbow-colored trunk, the biggest plants on Earth, and cacti.

The book includes experiments and activities and is supported by downloadable worksheets and other resources.
