7 - How do plants make their food?
Plants make their food using a process called 'photosynthesis'. It's like a magic power that plants have.
Here's what they need:
- Sunlight (like sunlight that we feel on a sunny day)
- Water (like the water we drink)
- Air (like the air we breathe)
They use sunlight, water, and air to make a yummy, sweet drink called 'glucose' that gives them energy to grow. And as a bonus, they make oxygen that we can breathe!
