LEAVES

STRUCTURE OF LEAVES

·   Leaf bears a stalk with which it is attached to the stem. It is called as petiole.

·   The flat part of the leaf exposed to light is called as lamina.

·   Thin structure which extends from the leaf base to the tip on the lamina is called as mid-vein.

·   Arrangement of veins on the lamina of the leaf is called as venation.

·   Veins help in transportation of food and water.

 


 STOMATA

The lowers side of a leaf has many tiny holes. Plants breathe through these tiny holes. These holes are called stomata(singular stoma).

Stomata can be seen with the help of a microscope.

We have our e-books published on Amazon for Grade 3 and Grade 4. The books serve as an important guide for Science Olympiads organized by SOF, Silverzone, Unified Council and others. Books are designed to help students understand key science concepts.

The key highlights of the book are:

·      Well explained topics

·      Use of diagrams and images for students to visualize

·      Test exercise after each chapter for self-assessment and evaluation

·      Interesting facts sections spread across the book
