Plants, People and Planet

Students will discover how plant’s needs can be met--both in nature and indoors--and explore how they can help care for plants and meet their needs too!
All living things have needs that must be met in order to live and grow. This video explores five important needs that all plants have to grow. The acronym LAWNS represents these important needs of: (L)ight, (A)ir temperature and movement, (W)ater, (N)utrients, and (S)pace to grow, such as in the soil. Almost all plants have these needs, but the amount of each need can vary depending on a plant’s habitat. For example, plants in the desert need less water, while plants in the rainforest have adapted to survive with lots of water available.
This video also accompanies Lesson 1 of the Plants, People and Climate Change resource, which investigates Climate Change and its solutions through the lens of plants and soil. Find the resource here: www.littlegree...
