Plant Songs

Our standards say that as third graders we are to know the structures (parts) of a plant, as well as the function (job/role) of those structures. Here are two fun songs that can help you review some of the things we've been researching in class and recording on our Plant Structure and Function Chart.



Do You Know the Parts of Plants? Tune: Head, Shoulders, Knees, And Toes


Do you know the parts of plants,
Parts of plants?
Do you know the parts of plants,
Parts of plants?
All kinds of plants that grow and grow and grow.
Do you know the parts of plants,
Parts of plants?

The roots hold the plant in place,
Plant in place.
The roots hold the plant in place,
Plant in place.
The roots store food and water, too.
The roots hold the plant in place,
Plant in place.


The stem moves water up the plant,
Up the plant.
The stem moves water up the plant,
Up the plant.
The stem brings water to the leaves.
The stem moves water up the plant,
Up the plant.


The leaves soak up the sun,
Soak up the sun.
The leaves soak up the sun,
Soak up the sun.
The sun helps the plant to grow and grow and grow.
The leaves soak up the sun,
Soak up the sun.


The flower grows into a fruit,
Into a fruit.
The flower grows into a fruit,
Into a fruit.
Inside the fruit are little tiny seeds.
The flower grows into a fruit,
Into a fruit.


Parts of Plants Song (Tune: Muffin Man)

Oh, do you know the parts of plants,
The parts of plants, the parts of plants?
Do you know the parts of plants
That make them grow and grow?
The roots, they hold the plant in place,
The plant in place, the plant in place.
The roots they hold the plant in place
Soak up minerals and water, too.

The stem moves water up the plant,
Up the plant, up the plant.
The stem moves water up the plant
Brings water to the leaves.

The leaves soak up the rays of sun,
The rays of sun, the rays of sun.
The leaves soak up the rays of sun,
And help the plant make food.

The flower grows into a fruit,
Into a fruit, into a fruit.
The flower grows into a fruit,
Which holds the tiny seeds.

Now you know the parts of plants,
The parts of plants, the parts of plants,
Now you know the parts of plants,
That make them grow and grow.


Enjoy singing these for your family at home. Grab a hairbrush (microphone) and get singing!
