Water Transportation In Plants — Interactive Lesson (Year 3)

Plants don’t have a pump like a heart, yet water still travels all the way from root to leaf. This water transportation in plants lesson, built as a 20-slide interactive lesson, gives Year 3 students a clear walk through how that journey happens.

Students learn how water is absorbed through the roots and transported up the stem to the leaves and flowers, with instant self-marking feedback throughout.
