Plant Chant

It takes 3 things to make a plant grow

Water, Sunlight, and CO2

And the plant makes sugar and oxygen

Well this green stuff is called chlorophyll

Plants are green because of chlorophyll

And there are 2 kinds of tubes in a plant

That are smaller than an ant

The xylem brings the water up

The phloem brings that sugar down

Well you might ask, “What is all this?”

We call this photosynthesis

We call this photosynthesis
