Website Review
#1- http://www.tutorvista.com/biology/parts-of-a-plant-for-
kids
This website is a valuable resource for children to
learn about the different parts of a plant. The website is
easy to understand for children because the website
describes the function of each part of a plant using words
and defintions that are easy for children to understand. The
website is also easy to understand because it is well
organized. It is easy for the children to find what they are
looking for. It starts with a introduction in order to make
children familiar with what a plant it and what its function
is. The website also has a realistic picture of a plant that
labels each part of the plant on it; that way if children were
to look at a real plant they would be able to pick what
where the different parts are.

This source is a reliable source for children because
PBS Learning Media is a well-known source that many
teachers use to teach their children. This website is also
.org therefore the information this website provides is
accurate and resourceful. This website provides a video for
children to learn about the different parts of the plant and
the functions of each part. Teachers should use this video
while teaching their lesson because it meets the needs of
children who are visual and auditory learners. The video
provides the students with diagrams and animations to
explain the functions of the parts of the plant. The video
also provides real-life video of real plants in order to
enhance students learning. Lastly, the video has someone
talking in the background to describe what these pictures
are showing.

This website is also a source that students can depend
on because it is a .org website, therefore the information
on this website is accurate. An amazing part of this website
is that is grasps the students attention. The website is very
colorful and vibrant. All the parts of the plants are in bold
and are in different colors in order for the students to
differentiate between each of them. It has a huge cartoon
picture of a flower on it that is big enough for the students
to see the different parts of the plant. Therefore, this
website is very good for students who are visual learners.
Lastly, the definitions on this website are simplified in easy
to understand language for students who are having a
trouble understand what the function of the different parts
of a plant are.
#4- https://www.mbgnet.net/bioplants/parts.html
This website is a good source for students who are
ahead of other students in understanding what the
functions of the part of a plant are. This website goes more
in depth with their definitions of the different functions of
the parts of the plants. Therefore, they use more
sophisticated language and definitions. Furthermore, on
the side of the website there are helpful terms that the
students who want to go above and beyond can read.
These helpful terms go beyond the parts of the plants
these students are learning. Instead these terms teaches
students about the different functions of plants and the
different types of plants. Thus, it is important for teachers
to meet the different needs of all the students. This
website is also very organized so that students can easily
find what definitions they are looking for. The website also
makes good use of their visuals by using a simple cartoon
diagram of a labeled plant, and then using a real-life
picture of a celery stalk in order to go above and beyond.
Lastly, the use an animated video at the end to describe
the different steps on how a tree grows.

This website provides students with an interactive
video so that the students can learn about the life cycle of
a plant. It first begins with a cartoon video of a boy
planting a plant. The video describes the different steps of
the life cycle. This video is very colorful and attracts
students attention because young children will be enticed
by a cartoon video. Specifically, this video will attract
visual and auditory learners. Next the students have to
label the different parts of the plant and then label the
stages of the plant life cycle on the next page. This
interactive part of the video allows students to see if they
understand what they learned in the video in the
beginning. Also, this interactive part is fun for students
because it is almost like a game. Therefore, this part of the
website would be good for students who are kinesthetic
learners because they get to work hands-on and interact
with the website.
#6- http://www.softschools.com/science/plants/plant_parts/
This website has various educational games for
students to play in order to learn about different topics.
One game is called Plant Parts where they have to label the
different parts of the plant and if they get the part of the
plant correct then that part of the plant gets colored in.
This website is a very good source for students to use with
their students because these educational games make
learning fun and attract the students' attention.
Furthermore, the students get to test themselves and see if
they really understand the material; and if they dont know
the parts of the plant they can continue to play this game
until they do. Lastly, this website is good for both visual
and kinesthetic learners because it uses a colorful, cartoon
diagram of the plant, as well as an interactive game that
students can use hands-on with in order learn about where
the different parts of the plant are.
