- 1. The FlowersJoin Maddie on an adventure around the world of flowers to see how we can help to look after them and our planet. Find out how flowers and different animals, like bees, birds, butterflies and insects, work together. We learn how bees and insects pollinate flowers, as Maddie becomes a bee and plays the pollination game! Along the way, we’ll discover flowers of all different shapes, sizes and colours and learn why they are so different. We discover the different parts of a flower, the stigma, the anther, the stamen and the petals and how some flowers go to sleep at night and open in the day!CC19minMar 29, 2021
- 2. The Plants Around the WorldJoin Maddie on a journey of discovery to find out about plants around the world. Find out how we can help to look after them and our planet, and why and how they grow and survive in different climates. Maddie explores plants in the rainforest, big and small, and sees how the clever drip-tip leaves water the plants beneath them. We see how plants in hot, dry parts of world like the desert thrive in their own special ways, like the cactus plant that stores litres of water in its waxy leaves. And we learn how plants that grow close to home in the UK can grow in a colder and wetter climate.CC19minMar 29, 2021
- 3. The Plants We UseJoin Maddie to discover the plants that we use in our everyday lives and how we can help to look after them and our planet. We use plants like bamboo to build with, we make clothes from plants, and we even turn plants into useful materials like rubber for making wellington boots. And we use wood for musical instruments! Along the way, we discover how latex comes from inside a rubber tree, and Maddie goes high into the rainforest canopy to show us how tall a bamboo plant grows. She also makes a bowl from a banana leaf.CC19minMar 29, 2021
- 4. The Plants We EatJoin Maddie as she finds out how many plants give us food we can eat, such as fruit like strawberries, grapes and pineapples, and vegetables like potatoes and onions. Maddie finds out how we can help to look after them and our planet. We’ll learn about the different parts of a plant, how plants grow and how they can feed us. From the food we grow under the ground like carrots, parsnips and beetroot, to those that grow above the ground, like fruit on trees, from lemons, olives and apples to pears and even cocoa beans that make chocolate!CC19minMar 29, 2021
- 5. The TreesJoin Maddie on an adventure around the world of trees to see how we can help look after them and our planet. Discover how trees grow, how we can tell the age of trees and how the roots, leaves and bark work. Maddie shows how trees are home to lots of other plants, animals, birds and insects who live on and amongst them and have an important role in our ecosystem. We discover how a tree’s leaves make energy using sunlight, so they can keep growing. We learn that a tree is alive - it drinks and breathes and grows just like we do! And we find out about deciduous trees that lose their leaves in winter and evergreens that keep their leaves all year round.CC19minMar 29, 2021
