- - - - Flour is made by grinding wheat grains into a fine powder. Processing wheat helps us turn hard grains into soft flour that we can cook and eat (BYJU’S, n.d.).
    - - Flour comes from grinding wheat grains, which grow on wheat plants (BYJU’S, n.d.).
  - - - The tools for making flour have changed from simple stones to powerful machines, helping us make flour faster (BYJU’S, n.d.).
    - - Tools have changed from simple stone and wood to modern materials, making work easier (Smith, 2020).
- - - - Which plants are still used today the same way they were used by our grandparents
        
        Baobab Tree: People still use baobab for medicine and food in African households today {Verywell Health, 2024}
      - How did people long ago use plants to make medicine, food, or tools?"
        
        Medicine: Indigenous South African communities used plants like the baobab tree to treat colds, fevers, and digestive problems (Verywell Health, 2024)
      - Class activity: Matching Game. Show pictures of healing plants and ask learners to match them to their traditional uses:
  - - - Plants require five essential elements to grow: light, air, water, nutrients, and space. Light provides energy for photosynthesis, air supplies carbon dioxide, water is vital for nutrient transport and cooling, nutrients act as food for plants, and adequate space ensures healthy development(The Spruce, 2024).
    - - People collect plants from nature by gathering seeds, cuttings, or small parts of plants. This can be done for various purposes, including research, cultivation, or as a hobby. It's important to collect responsibly by ensuring that the plant population remains healthy and sustainable.(Wikipedia, 2024
- - - - Fruits grow from flowers and usually contain seeds. They are often sweet or sour. Examples: apples, bananas, and oranges. Fruits give us energy and vitamins (BYJU’S, n.d.-a).Vegetables are parts of plants like leaves, stems, roots, and flowers that we eat. Examples: spinach (leaves), carrots (roots), and cabbage (leaves).
    - - Plants are different in size, shape, how long they live, and how they grow — that’s why not all plants are the same. Some plants live for just one season (annuals), while others live for many years (perennials) (BYJU’S, n.d.-a).
  - - - We get different food like fruits, vegetables, grains, and nuts from plants(TIME for Kids, 2017)Some plants are used to make medicine that helps us feel better(Wikipedia, 2023)Trees give us wood to build homes and furniture(Earth Review, 2018)
    - - According to the Department of Basic Education (DBE, 2011), young learners should understand that seeds need water, warmth, air, and soil to grow, and that plants go through predictable stages in their life cycles.
