Parts of a plant
This plant part absorbs water and nutrients from the soil.
Roots
What is something that comes out of the sky that plants need to survive?
Water
This is the first stage of a plant's life cycle
Seed
This soil component has large particles and feels gritty.
Sand
A cactus lives in the desert. Does it need a lot of water or a little water?
Little water
This part of the plant provides support and carries water from roots to leaves.
Stem
Plants need this from the sky to make their food.
Sunlight
When a seed starts to grow, we call this process
Germination
This soil component is made of decomposed plant and animal material.
Humus
What do bees and butterflies do when they visit flowers?
Pollinate the flower
This plant part attracts pollinators and produces seeds for reproduction.
Flower
Plants need this so their roots can spread out underground and their leaves can reach sunlight.
Space
A young plant with its first leaves is called this.
Seedling
This type of soil holds water for a long time and feels sticky when wet.
Clay
What is the name of the sweet liquid that bees like to drink?
Nectar
Name ALL FOUR main plant parts we studied.
Stem, Roots, Flower, Leaves
What is something that is all around you that all living things need?
Air
During germination, this part grows DOWN into the soil first.
Roots
Which soil holds the least amount of water?
Sand
If a plant doesn't get enough sunlight, what can't it make?
Food
Leaves make food for the plant through this process.
Photosynthesis
What are the four things all plants need?
Sunlight, Air, Space, Water
Put these stages in order: adult plant, seed, germination, seedling, seeds produced.
seed → germination → seedling → adult plant → seeds produced
This is the best type of soil for most plants—a mixture of sand, clay, and humus.
Loam
Name the four plant parts AND tell what ONE of them does.
What are roots, stems, leaves, and flowers? (Plus any correct function: roots absorb water/nutrients, stems provide support, leaves make food, flowers attract pollinators/make seeds)
