Unit B - Section 1
Capillary Action
To show students how capillary action works to move water up the stem, you can take a piece of celery, a carnation, or other stem plant and place it in a container full of water and colour dye. Discuss the results with the students.

Photosynthesis
To remind students of the process of Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis, review lessons taught in Unit A - Section 2. The website link below also gives several different resources for teaching photosynthesis.

Processes to Move Substances In and Out of Plant Cells
I've attached a link below that contains dozens of different activities about diffusion and osmosis. The activities include worksheets, demonstrations and slideshows.

Plant Adaptations
To teach students about how plants become adapted to their environments, you could look back into Unit A where the terrariums were created. Why were the plants used within the terrariums well suited for that specific environment?
