Mind Map: Plant Biology for Grade 7 Science
Central Theme: Structure, Function, and Life Processes of Plants
1. Plant Classification & Basic Needs
• Classification
◦ Vascular Plants (with xylem/phloem): Trees, flowers, ferns
◦ Non-vascular Plants (no transport systems): Mosses, liverworts
• Essential Survival Needs
◦ Core Requirements (from docs): Water, light, air (CO₂/O₂), soil nutrients, space
◦ Extended Concepts:
◦ Photosynthesis: Converts light energy to chemical energy (equation: CO₂ + H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂)
◦ Respiration: Plants use O₂ to break down glucose for energy
◦ Adaptations:
◦ Desert plants (e.g., cacti): Thick stems for water storage
◦ Aquatic plants (e.g., water lilies): Floating leaves for light absorption
2. Plant Structure & Functions
• Root System
◦ Functions (from docs): Anchor plant, absorb water/nutrients
◦ Extended:
◦ Taproots (e.g., carrots) vs. fibrous roots (e.g., grass)
◦ Root hairs: Increase surface area for absorption
• Stem & Trunk
◦ Functions (from docs): Support plant, transport water/nutrients
◦ Extended:
◦ Xylem: Transports water/minerals from roots to leaves (单向运输)
◦ Phloem: Transports sugars (from photosynthesis) to all parts (双向运输)
◦ Annual rings: Show growth layers in tree trunks
• Leaves
◦ Functions (from docs): Photosynthesis, gas exchange
◦ Extended:
◦ Stomata: Pores for CO₂ intake and water vapor release (controlled by guard cells)
◦ Leaf adaptations: Needles (conifers reduce water loss), broad leaves (maximize light capture)
• Flowers
◦ Reproductive Structures (from docs):
◦ Male: Stamen (anther produces pollen, filament supports it)
◦ Female: Carpel (stigma catches pollen, style leads to ovary with ovules)
◦ Extended:
◦ Pollination types: Self-pollination vs. cross-pollination
◦ Flower symmetry: Actinomorphic (radial, e.g., daisies) vs. zygomorphic (bilateral, e.g., peas)
3. Scientific Inquiry & Experiments
• Key Terms (from docs):
◦ Variable: Something changed in an experiment
◦ Independent variable (changed by scientist)
◦ Dependent variable (measured result)
◦ Controlled variables (kept constant)
◦ Fair Test: Only 1 independent variable
• Example Experiment (from docs: Celery & food coloring):
◦ Aim: Observe water transport in xylem
◦ Procedure: Cut celery stems, place in colored water, observe colored veins in leaves
◦ Conclusion: Xylem conducts water from roots to leaves
• Extended:
◦ Hypothesis: "If a plant receives less light, its growth rate will decrease."
◦ Data Collection: Measure plant height, number of leaves over time
4. Plant Life Cycle
• Stages (from docs & extended):
1. Germination: Seed absorbs water, root/shoot emerge (requires warmth, oxygen)
2. Growth: Vegetative stage (leaf/stem development)
3. Reproduction: Flowering, pollination, fertilization (pollen + ovule → seed)
4. Seed Dispersal: Methods to spread seeds (from docs + examples):
◦ Wind: Dandelion (feathery seeds), maple (winged seeds)
◦ Water: Coconut (buoyant fruit), lotus
◦ Animals: Berries (eaten and excreted), burrs (sticky seeds on fur)
◦ Explosive Bursting: Pea pods, touch-me-not plants
5. Maturity: New plant grows to repeat the cycle
• Extended:
◦ Life Cycle Types:
◦ Annuals (e.g., sunflowers): Complete life cycle in 1 year
◦ Perennials (e.g., trees): Live for many years, flower repeatedly
5. Ecology & Plant Interactions
• Role in Ecosystems
◦ Producers: Base of food chains (convert sunlight to energy for other organisms)
◦ Oxygen Production: Critical for animal respiration
◦ Soil Conservation: Roots prevent erosion
• Human Impact
◦ Deforestation → Loss of habitats, increased CO₂ in atmosphere
◦ Selective Breeding: Creating crop varieties (e.g., drought-resistant corn)
• Symbiotic Relationships
◦ Mycorrhizae: Fungi help roots absorb nutrients (mutualism)
◦ Epiphytes: Plants like orchids grow on trees for support (commensalism)
6. Key Vocabulary (Expanded from Docs)
• Botanist: Scientist who studies plants
• Fertilization: Fusion of male (pollen) and female (ovule) cells to form seeds
• Germination: Process of a seed starting to grow
• Transpiration: Loss of water vapor from leaves (drives water uptake in roots)
• Xylem/Phloem: Vascular tissues for transport (see Structure section)
Design Notes for Clarity
1. Color Coding: Use green for structure/function, blue for water transport, pink for reproduction, and orange for ecology.
2. Visual Aids: Add icons (e.g., beaker for experiments, leaf for photosynthesis, seed for dispersal) to enhance memory.
3. Cross-Curricular Links: Connect to math (data graphs for experiments) and geography (plant adaptations to climates).
This思维导图 balances depth (e.g., vascular tissues, photosynthesis equation) with初一学生的认知水平,通过实例和分层结构帮助理解复杂概念。需要调整细节可随时告知!
