===Note for Teachers===
: Many vegetables are also referred to as types of fruit. Fruit is specifically the part containing seeds (the ovary of the plant) but a vegetable is any edible part of the plant. You may wish to either highlight or avoid these depending on the abilities of individual students. The following are examples of vegetables that are also technically fruit:
: Tomato, Peppers, Cucumber, Aubergine, Pumpkin, Marrow, Courgette, Chili.
: Mushrooms are often mistaken for vegetables which also leads children to falsely identify them as a plant. They are in fact a fungus.
