Plant Reproduction Cloze

Year 5 ScienceLiving Things and Their Habitats3 pages

About this worksheet

A Year 5 cloze on how flowering plants reproduce, three pages with answers. Pupils fill twelve gaps in three paragraphs from a bank that includes stamen, anther, stigma, ovary and dispersal. The passage follows pollen from the anther to another flower on an insect, then on to fertilisation, seeds, fruit and germination. Two questions ask pupils to explain pollination and fertilisation in their own words, and why seeds are scattered away from the parent plant. A picture shows a bumblebee in a flower. It follows the England National Curriculum.
