[quote=\"Taurus\"]Hi,


Anyone can help on this qns : Is grass a flowering or non-flowering plant? Why?
My DS says is considered \"flowering plant\" but some of his friends say is \"non-flowering plant\".

I came across this Q but forgot... grasses are also flowering plants because they have modified stems, flowers and fruits. ( Science PSLE rivision guide, MPAH, page 24)

Actually, you can get the book at the school bookshop( if possible) and popular!

I would advise you to buy it at popular!

Is it non flowering plant?
If non flowering plnat then we can they can produced by spores.

Oh!! I forgot to ask her what kind of plant. You mean all non-flowering plant are produced by spores??

Yup, all non-flowering plants reproduced by spores.
I remember like that.

Now I think through it does make sense. If no flower means no seed then how the plant reproduce? Must be like ferns through spores. Rats!! I don’t even remember. Thanks!

If the plant is not a non-flowering plant, you can say the following:

Both can't move from place to place freely

Both respond to changes slowly

PS: For P3 level, yes, all non-flowering plants reproduce by spores, but some non-flowering plants do reproduce by seeds. I can not remember the examples, but I am sure that I saw this in more than one book (assessment book???? guide??? Not sure).
