[亲子百科] [英语讲百科三月植物]桐桐和植物--共读how flowers grow 上完

和我女儿差不多大啊！开心！我们还没看过peppa pig，一直很纠结看电视（电脑）和眼睛健康的问题

我们大概从15个月开始陆陆续续每天看一集的，大概5分钟左右，现在已经可以老老实实坐着看完一集，而且每次说看小猪就很兴奋

这么大应该还不懂吧

他会很努力的找画面中他熟悉的东西，然后啊啊啊的指给你看。。他会知道mama pig 在哪里，daddy pig在哪里

我们看完就不走了，抱走就耍赖，哭闹，现在都不敢让他看见屏幕亮着。看见了就要去看自己的东西。你们是怎么控制就5分钟呢？

我们从一开始看就是一集，看完了我就说finished. 然后把桐桐抱下来，和他去客厅玩。。他也就习惯了

还是很听话的啊，我家最初就不行。主意特别多

我每次说 一天只能看一集 所以看完就不看了 不会闹
就像吃零食等，都说一天只能吃一个哦，吃之前就说，然后再要，或者他过了几小时要，都说，今天吃过了，一天只能吃一个呢！他就不要了，还会竖起指头说，一个！

我们吃东西也会伸一根手指，说好了吃一个我们就给一个的

要坚持，不能因为宝宝哭闹就妥协的，不然下次他就知道哭闹有用了

说的对极了，我们每次哭闹大人就妥协了，怪不得呢，可惜有老人惯着，难办

这个一定要和老人沟通好的。。我们也是爸妈白天帮忙带的，要和他们沟通好，因为习惯没养好以后他们带更累的

What you will need:

风信子应该是冬天开花，和水仙差不多。我家的两棵已经败了

10-20度好像都可以的，淘宝上还有的卖的

明天准备去花鸟市场看看。。有没有啥好东西可以买

花鸟市场买的风信子上照片了，一盆用土，一盆水生





根茎要选大一点的。。这样养分充足

找了一些文章，可以帮助爸妈们简单回答宝宝们的问题，这篇文章用语也是蛮简单的。。

What Makes Things Grow?

One of the most common questions that children ask especially when it comes to plants and flowers is ‘What makes them grow?’.  It’s a question that has many different answers and here we aim to help dispel some myths and make sense of the growing process for children who like to garden.
What Makes Things Grow?There are many things which go towards helping flowers and plants grow.  A lot of them we as human beings take for granted and never give a second thought to.  Here are some of them:

• Sunlight
• Heat
• Rain
• Soil
• Pollen
  

All of these things are found in nature and play their own individual but very important part when it comes to gardening.  Children’s gardening is not just about learning what flowers and plants to grow but also teaching them how they grow.
PhotosynthesisPhotosynthesis is the process that all plants and flowers use to grow.  The process consists of breathing in carbon dioxide and breathing out oxygen which we then use to breathe for ourselves.

• Plants for Free
• Taking Simple Cuttings
• Questionnaire: Do You Know the Plants to Avoid in the Kids Garden?
  

The light from the sun is use to help the plants and flowers grow using a pigment in the leaves called Chlorophyll.  Chlorophyll soaks up red and blue light but repels green light which is why the leaves on flowers and plants appear to be green in colour.  This energy which is soaked up using the red and blue light is then converted into a starch or sugar which the flower or plant then uses to nourish itself.
TranspirationTranspiration is the process by which flowers and plants use water to help them grow.  Mixing the water they suck from the soil and also absorb from rainfall the flowers and plants mix it with the carbon dioxide they absorb from the air.  This process releases oxygen back into the atmosphere which is what we humans breathe in.

PollinationPollination is the process by which flowers and plants are encouraged to grow by nature.  Bees, wasps and other insects carry the pollen from one plant to another thus allowing the growing process to begin.  This is also why you may find plants and flowers in places where you might normally expect to find them.

All of the aforementioned processes are important to gardening in general but when it comes to children’s gardening these processes make for interesting and informative discussions as well as ideal learning curves.  The processes of nature which may sometimes be common place to adults are something miraculous to children and this encourages them to want to learn more about nature as a whole and also encourages them to want to participate in gardening.
Photosynthesis and Transpiration are things that your child will undoubtedly come across during their schooling but if they can back these lessons up with hands on experience within the confines of their own home with their parents and other family members the learning process can become much more fun and rewarding.
There are many websites and books which deal with children’s gardening and also look at Photosynthesis and Transpiration in much more detail.

桐桐妈好棒

大家一起共读 How Flower Grow

19号团里面有一本how flowers grow,正好迎合3月活动，拿出来和大家共享阿

第一讲，Seeds to seedlings

A seed has a hard shell with a young plant inside. Seeds grow in the soil when the sun and rain has made them warm and wet.

(秀宝宝几颗瓜子，最好是生的）These are sunflower sheeds. Each sunflower seed can grow into a big sunflower. (可以秀宝宝向日葵图片 who is hiding in the garden 里面也有的）



1) In the soil, the shell of a seed splits.
2) A small root sprouts out of it
3) Then a shoot grows out of the seed




When a shoot breks through the soil, it is called a seedling.

The largest seed in the world is teh coco de mer. It is bigger than a football.

第二讲：Plant parts

Most plants are made up of flowers, leaves, roots and stems.



This is a wood sorrel plant.

The stems keep the plant upright. Leaves and flowers grow on the stems.

Plant make food in their green leaves.


Some plants have leves that are sharp and spiky. They grow well as animals prefer to eat smooth leaves.

Lots of things you eat are plant parts. Broccoli is a bunch of lowers and carrots are a kind of root.

Underground, the roots soak up water from the soil. They hold teh plant in place too.

Making of Food



植物靠阳光，水和空气来制造食物，可以让宝宝通过下面的网站小游戏来了解温度，水对于植物生长的影响

http://www.sciencekids.co.nz/gamesactivities/plantsgrow.html

对于球茎的认识，我觉得书中推荐的把洋葱切开是一个好方法。。还可以种一下看看，我家种了两棵风信子也是这种类型的，已经快开花了

第四讲：Buds to Flowers



对于flower buds的感受，妈妈可以通过踏青给宝宝看桃花之类的春季鲜花的花蕾，这样宝宝一定有直观的感觉的

鲜花的组成可以通过观察盛开的花朵来介绍。。。相信春天大自然提供了我们很多很好的素材

第五讲：Pollen and Nectar



记得小时候花坛里有很多称为一串红的植物，把花拔下来之后后面可以挤出甜甜的水。。可以用这个来给宝宝解释nectar。

花粉应该蛮容易演示的。。找一朵花，用餐巾纸擦一下就可以看到了。

不晓得有没有小蜜蜂采花蜜之类的绘本，可以结合起来给宝宝讲授粉的过程。。或者可以让宝宝也做一回小蜜蜂，替花朵授一下粉。。至于方法可以让小朋友动一下脑筋啦

第六讲  The making of seeds



对于种子的形成。我觉得最容易描述的就是荷花了。。莲蓬是江南很容易见到的，很多宝宝还吃过。。



妈妈们还可以和宝宝动手找一找每种植物的种子在哪里，街边的喇叭花，太阳花都是可以拿来做实例的教材。蒲公英更是一个又特别又好玩的example。可以让宝宝找一片开阔的地方，帮蒲公英的种子找到自己的家

第七讲：Spreading Seeds



各种种子的形态，妈妈可以通过实物来解释，比如用苍耳的种子来介绍那些带刺的种子，相信妈妈们都有小时候从衣服上往下拔苍耳种子的经验。



crane's bill的种子比较奇特，我从网上找了一张实物图：

第八讲：Juicy Fruit



这个实例太多了。。peppa pig里面的gardening，grandpa pig就咬了一口苹果说里面有更多的种子可以种更多的苹果树。

宝宝在吃水果的时候，可以找一下，哪些是种子。

第九讲: New Plants


Daffodil我还找了张图片说明：


这种球茎的植物很多。。比如风信子。。我家就有一株风信子有两个头，可惜长歪了：


现在正好是采草莓的旺季，有条件的爸妈可以带宝宝去看一下草莓藤的特殊长法。。我也是第一次听说runner这种概念。。找了几张图方便爸妈给宝宝讲解：

第十讲:Rain forest flowers



雨林花朵的介绍，最直观的就是看图啦：


Some of the most famous are rainforest orchids.Orchidsare  the species-richest family of plants, with 25,000 species in the world.


Another famous one is the birdof paradise flower (on the photo above). Hibiscus have beautiful big flowers. Other amazing flowers of rainforests are flamingo flowers, lotus flowers, and in Australian rainforests - grevilleas, garnedias and silky oaks.

And some of the more interesting are the carnivorous pitcher plants, and the rafflesia flower- the largest flower in the world.


如果植物园里面有相关的展览或者暖棚种了雨林植物，可以带宝宝去看看哦。。特别是南方的妈妈们
