Grade 2 Science Worksheet - Challenge Me

NameDate

Circle the answer.

1.
A burr sticks to a dog's fur and drops far away. Which process is this?
- pollination by a bee in the garden
- seed dispersal by an animal
- pollination by a bird
2.

About this worksheet

This Grade 2 science worksheet gives focused practice with how animals help plants pollinate flowers or disperse seeds. The workbook reference treats science as evidence-based inquiry, so the questions ask students to read a small investigation, compare observations, and choose the claim that best fits the evidence. Second graders often know a science word from conversation but need support connecting it to a tested result, diagram, or class record. This page rotates through direct observation, cause-and-effect reasoning, model interpretation, and fair-test choices so the sheet does not become one repeated fact.

Support versions use familiar examples and short sentences. Standard and challenge versions add closer choices and require students to explain why an observation matters. A common slip is saying animals only eat plants and missing how moving pollen or seeds can help new plants grow. Encourage children to name the evidence first, then use that evidence to support the answer they choose.

What your child will learn

Explain pollination
Explain seed dispersal
Use animal evidence
Match seed shapes to the way they travel

NGSS standard: 2-LS2-2

Worked example

A bee that moves pollen from flower to flower can help the plant make seeds.

Common mistake

Thinking seeds always fall straight down and never move to new places.

Helpful hint

Ask what the animal moved and how that helps the plant.
