Light
Plants get their energy from light. Their leaves are like little green solar panels.
Why it's needed:
To make their own food! Plants are like chefs. They use light, water, and air to cook up their own sugary food.
💡 Fun Facts
- Plants will actually bend and turn their leaves during the day to get the most sunlight.
- If you grow a plant in a dark cupboard, it will grow pale, yellow, and very stringy as it 'searches' for any little bit of light.
- Some flowers, like dandelions, open up in the bright sunshine and close up at night or on cloudy days.
