Life Cycle: Sort a Plant’s Stages

Name:                              
Date:              

Today I am practising: sequencing the major stages in a flowering plant life cycle

1

Put seed, sprout, plant, flower, and seed in order.

2

Draw an arrow from seed to sprout.

3

Circle the stage that can make new seeds.

4

Label one change from sprout to plant.

5

Add one thing a young plant needs.

6

Explain to an adult why the final seed can begin the cycle again.

Grown-up guide
  1. Use the word stage for a part of a repeating process, not a separate kind of plant.
  2. Show that a plant can look different at each stage while remaining the same living thing.
  3. Avoid implying every plant follows identical timing or has identical flowers.
