Plant Superpowers: Explain How Each Part Helps The Plant Live
1 Roots Function
The roots hold the plant tight in the soil and drink up:
2 Stem Function
The stem holds the plant tall and carries water like a:
3 Leaves Function
The green leaves soak up sunlight and air to make:
4 Flower Function
The flower has bright petals to attract bees and make new:

Craft Studio Model Guide Botany Builders • Activity 3: Tactile Model Guide
Name: Date:
3D Plant Engineer Guide Hands-On Build
Engineers build models to explain how real things work! Use everyday craft supplies to engineer a 3D tactile plant.
Build Guide • Page 1 of 2
Step 1: Choose Your Engineering Craft Materials
Brown Yarn or String Models: ROOTS
Spreads like underground root hairs to grip soil and soak water.
Drinking Straw or Stick Models: STEM
Stiff stalk stands upright and acts like a straw carrying liquid.
Green Paper or Felt Models: LEAVES
Flat, wide surfaces act like solar panels to catch sunlight.
Cupcake Liner / Pom-Pom Models: FLOWER
Bright ruffled petals invite pollinators and protect seeds.
Step 2: 4-Step Engineering Instructions
1
Anchor the Roots (Underground)
Cut 3-5 pieces of yarn (about 3 inches long). Glue them branching outward at the bottom of your mat or base. Gently fray the tips with your fingers to model tiny root hairs that drink water!
Anchor System
2
Erect the Water Pipeline (Stem)
Glue your paper straw standing straight up from the top of your yarn roots. The straw is sturdy enough to hold your plant upright and hollow to represent water tubes moving moisture up.
Support & Straw
3
Attach Solar Energy Catchers (Leaves)
Cut 2 oval green leaves. Fold them down the middle to give them a 3D crease, then glue the stems of the leaves to the middle of your straw. Angle them upward toward the light!
Sun Catchers
4
Crown with the Seed Maker (Flower)
Glue your cupcake liner or pom-pom to the top of your stem. Add a sprinkle of yellow glitter, beads, or small paper dots in the middle to represent pollen and future seeds!
