Bean Plant Life Cycle Labelling

Year 2 SciencePlants2 pages

About this worksheet

On this Year 2 science sheet, pupils label the life cycle of a bean plant. Five pictures sit in a circle with arrows between them: a bean in soil, the bean sprouting a root and shoot, a seedling, a plant in flower, and a plant hung with green pods. Pupils write seed, sprouting seed, seedling, flowering plant or bean pods on lines A to E. The diagram fills page 1 and the answers are on page 2. It links to the England National Curriculum objective on how seeds grow into mature plants.

How teachers use it

Grow your own

Plant broad beans in clear cups and stick a copy of the sheet next to them. Pupils tick off each stage as their bean reaches it.

Cut and order

Cut the five pictures apart and ask pairs to put them in a circle before they write the labels.

Open a pod

Split a real bean pod after the sheet so pupils see the seeds inside, and link it to the arrow from E back to A.
