How to Use:
These charts can be used as wall decor in a science centre or as an instructional tool to teach about the plants we eat.
By relating the science standard of identifying parts of a plant to foods that students commonly eat, it will ensure that students have fun and stay engaged with learning about plants!
Where to Use:
Wall Display in a Science Centre - Place these posters on the wall of a science centre while you are learning about the parts of plants. They can also be placed in a science centre simply as a reference tool for students to use while completing other plant based activities.
Instructional Tool - These posters make an excellent instructional tool for teachers to use to introduce to students the concept of parts of a plant in relation to the foods we eat.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Students will name a range of edible fruits, vegetables, legumes, and grains shown in the poster set.
Teaching tips
Because the pages group food by type (fruits, leafy vegetables, root vegetables), the set works well for a food-sorting or healthy-eating discussion rather than a plant-anatomy lesson.
Since the file has no roots/stem/leaf labeling, pair it with a separate plant-parts diagram if the goal is to teach plant anatomy specifically.
Skills covered
Food-name recognition — students match a printed food name to its illustration across fruit, vegetable, and legume categories.
Food classification — students can sort the pictured items into categories such as fruits, leafy vegetables, and root vegetables based on how the pages are grouped.
