Worksheet 1Which plant part belongs in the blank label?
What job does the blank roots do?
What is the empty plant label?
How does the pictured flower help the plant?
Which word names the part at the blank line?
Which job belongs to the roots?
Complete the missing plant-part label.
Choose the work done by the flower.
A plant is made of parts that work together. Kindergartners may know the bright flower and green leaf but use stem and roots interchangeably, especially when roots are normally hidden below the ground. A labelled diagram makes location visible and lets children connect each structure with a simple job. Roots take in water and anchor the plant. The stem holds the plant upright. Leaves receive sunlight, and flowers help make seeds. This worksheet hides one label at a time and also asks about the job of the part touched by the callout line. Difficulty changes the number of labels and how close the candidate parts are, not the science. Encourage your child to follow the leader line all the way to its dot before choosing. When discussing functions, use ‘helps’ rather than suggesting one part works alone. A leaf needs the roots and stem just as the roots depend on the rest of the plant.
The blank line points below the soil to branching structures. Those are roots, and they take in water for the plant.
Calling the roots a stem because both connect to the middle of the plant.
Follow the line to its dot, then think about that part’s location and job.
