Some are pretty and others are prickly. Some have flowers and fruit, and
others have needles. What are they? You guessed it - amazing plants! Join
a young investigative agent for M.A.P.L.E. (the Marvelous Association of
Plant Loving Enthusiasts), and his friends from around the country as they
uncover fascinating information about the world of plants in Plant Life
for Children. This video series introduces young viewers to the plant
world, where they will learn about the parts of a plant, how they grow, how
pollination works and much more. Children will be intrigued as they find out
about the incredible variety of plants from the Venus flytrap to the saguaro
cactus and will perform hands-on experiments to obtain an appreciation for
plant life. This program is based on the concepts outlined in the National
Science Education Standards for Life Science: Characteristics of Organisms,
Life Cycles of Organisms and Organisms & Environments.

What do plants require in order to survive? In All About Caring for
Plants, join young plant enthusiasts as they investigate what plants
need to grow from seedlings to healthy adult plants. Discover the basic
necessities of a variety of plants, including sunlight, water, appropriate
temperature and proper nutrients. Learn how to provide the proper amount
of these elements to enhance a plant’s ability to grow strong and healthy.
Kids also find out how changes in the environment can influence a plant’s
growth in an exciting, hands-on activity.

Plants provide oxygen, food, shelter, medicine and more for all animals,
including humans. In fact, people depend on plants for their very survival
just as plants rely on animals! In All About Plant & Animal Interdependency,
join aspiring botanists as they discover how plants and animals interrelate. Learn
about the constant exchange of gases in the oxygen-carbon dioxide cycle. Discover
the amazing way plants provide energy to all of the Earth’s inhabitants through the
process of photosynthesis. Find out how animals play an important role in plant
reproduction and how they are instrumental in dispersing plant seeds. In a hands-on
experiment, kids learn how animals transport a seed to new locations.

Plants can survive in even the harshest of environments, from the
freezing Arctic to the arid desert. In All About Plant Adaptation,
join young plant lovers as they uncover some of the amazing ways that plants
have adapted over millions of years enabling them to survive almost anywhere
on Earth. Discover how some plants living in cold, arctic climates or dry,
arid regions have adapted by remaining inactive or dormant for long periods
of time. Examine how some plants have evolved to survive under the lush,
thick canopy of the rainforest. Find out how epiphytes, like some orchids,
are able to obtain their water and nutrients right out of the air! Learn
about other ways that plants have adapted either to protect themselves from
predators or to help them reproduce to ensure their survival. A hands-on
experiment that explores how the Venus flytrap has adapted to survive in
mineral-free water is also included.

#K7094, $29.95
Flowers are not only pretty, they are also one of the key elements in
the process of plant pollination and reproduction that goes from flowers
to fruits to seeds! In All About Plant Pollination: Fruit, Flowers &
Seeds, young scientists learn about the different parts of a flower through
the use of microscopic photography and detailed diagrams. See how a flower
becomes pollinated when pollen lands on the stigma of the same type of plant.
Learn about the structure of seeds and how they develop inside fruit. Find out
how seeds are dispersed and how the process starts all over again when a new
plant begins to grow. In a hands-on experiment, kids pollinate a flower
themselves and then observe the development of its seeds and fruit.

#K7095, $29.95
How does a tiny seed sprout and grow into a towering tree? Join the kids
from M.A.P.L.E as they learn about some of the incredible transformations
that a plant goes through during its lifetime. In All About Plant
Structure & Growth, uncover the secrets of roots, stems and
leaves - structures that are vital to a plant’s role as an energy producer.
Find out how water and minerals flow from the roots through the stem and into
the leaves through special tissue called xylem. Discover how a plant manufactures
sugars in its leaves and then transfers it to the rest of the plant through
the phloem. Uncover facts about a plant’s root system - the structure used to
anchor a plant in the soil and take in water and minerals. Learn how to
identify different types of leaves - simple, compound and needle. A hands-on
experiment in which kids prove that xylem tissue flows through all parts of a
plant is also included.
