Trees and plants are also living beings. They need food, water and air for survival. It is interesting
to know how they take their food. Plants get their food both from the earth and the air. If you

minerals and transport them upwards to leaves through the trunk and the branches. Chlorophyl
in leaves prepare the food like a machine. It converts the carbon dioxide taken from the air and
water from the ground into sugar with the help of sunlight. This chemical reaction is calles
photosynthesis. Sugar is further converted into starch and is stored in the plant. The minerals

Butterflies are a type of insect with large and often colorful wings. They start out as eggs. They
lay their eggs on leaves. The eggs hatch into caterpillars with tubular body. The caterpillar eats
leaves, buds, or flowers of plants. When a caterpillar is full sized, it goes into another stage
called Chrysalis. Caterpillars attach themselves to something solid before becoming a Chrysalis.
The caterpillar inside the Chrysalis changes into a butterfly. Some butterflies make the change in
one week. Some others take years to change. When the change is complete, the adult butterfly
