Before watching the documentary, I thought that plants are plants, and their cognition is very superficial. But after watching the following documentary, your cognition of plants will be raised to a high level: they are also alive, but their expressions are different from those of animals. Today, I recommend five carefully selected documentary films on plants suitable for senior children.
1, The Private Life of Plants This documentary has been well received by everyone since it was first broadcast in 1995, and was once praised as "the best documentary on plants". Although it is older, it is still worth watching. This paper mainly explores the survival, competition, development and survival of plants, and presents us with a colorful world of plants.
On second thought, it's no different from animals, except that they can't talk. In the film, you will be infected by the tenacious vitality of plants. Even the seeds in the rubble will break ground one day, which is more tenacious than human life. There are also pitcher plants that hunt well, cacti that don't like water, dead trees that provide nourishment for future generations, etc. Needless to say, it is a wonderful documentary, which is very suitable for children to watch.
Viewing channels: CCTV, bilibili.
2. Plant an Earth. Although its name bears the Earth, it is not a record of the Earth, but a record of its plants. This documentary is a high-definition version of "Private Life of Plants". It contains a lot of botany knowledge, which can make up for the lack of children's biology. Even if you review the knowledge points, you will not feel bored. Therefore, it is especially suitable for senior children to watch.
This documentary focuses on the survival wisdom of plants and the interdependence between plants and animals. For me, some knowledge is common sense, but it is still shocking to present it through documentary, not to mention some unique plants that have never been seen or heard before, which is an eye-opener!

3. Green Planet In the past, documentaries recorded plants in a certain place, but this documentary recorded how plants lived in different landforms: from desert to glaciers, from plains to mountains, from tropical rain forests to islands and so on. Each frame is very high-definition and spectacular, and it feels like watching a documentary, but enjoying the beautiful scenery.
This documentary mainly records the struggle between plants for survival, for sunshine, rain, nutrients, etc., and some pictures of the interdependence between animals and plants: for example, bats and flowers are interdependent. There is also a true record of plant rebirth after the fire. Despite the harsh living conditions, plants can still survive, and we can't help but sigh how tenacious their vitality is.

4. The Plant Kingdom is different from the previous documentary. This documentary was filmed in Kew Garden, the Royal Botanical Garden in the United Kingdom. It uses modern 3D technology to present a three-dimensional and dynamic plant world, telling the diversity and tenacious vitality of plants. It can be said that plants are the foundation of human life. Although plants can't speak, their survival wisdom is shocking.
There are rock roses that are willing to sacrifice for the next generation, eucalyptus trees that have a strong desire for territorial protection, and pitcher plants that are not common hunters. At the same time, they also show the interdependence between plants and animals. The picture is very beautiful and worth seeing! If you have the conditions, you can visit the Royal Botanical Garden in person. It is open to the public.
Viewing channels: bilibili, CCTV.
5. China Plants Affecting the World When it comes to plant documentaries, it must be said that the plant documentaries filmed by China people themselves, both in terms of copywriting and conception, have reached BBC level. There are popular copywriting in the film, so it is especially suitable for senior children to watch as a popularization of plant knowledge.
This documentary mainly tells the evolution history of plants in China, how to cross the ocean to take root abroad, and what contribution it has brought to the world. It is not a boring documentary, but a life story of 28 plants in 2 1 family through the lens. It can be regarded as a documentary that expands plant knowledge horizontally, and it is a better way for children to know about plants in China.
Watch channels: Watermelon Video, Iqiyi, bilibili.
The above five documentaries on plants are all selected, and I hope they can help you. The first three films are very good. Of course, there are many wonderful documentaries about other plants, such as The Queen of the Tree, Nature: Dialogue between Plants, Food Garden, etc., which are equally wonderful and worthy of attention.
