This 3-page 1st grade science sheet links each plant part to its job. Page 1 shows roots, stem, leaves and flower with small pictures, and students draw a line to one of four job cards lettered A to D. Page 2 asks four short questions, such as whether a plant with no roots can get water from the soil, with two choices to circle. The answer key matches each part to its job and lists the four circled answers.
“Say what job roots, stem, leaves and flower do for a plant.”
Page 1 matches each part to its job.
“Use what you know about a plant part to answer a what-if question.”
Page 2 asks what happens when a plant has no roots or has lost its leaves.
Four cards with a picture and a name (roots, stem, leaves, flower) sit on the left. Four job cards, A to D, sit on the right in a different order. Students draw a line from each part to its job.
Four picture questions. A plant has no roots, a plant lost its leaves, which part holds the plant up, and which part makes seeds. Students circle yes or no, or one of two plant parts.
Each part matched to its letter, then the four circled answers: no, leaves, stem and flower.
Read the cards aloud
Read the four job cards together before students draw any lines. Card C holds two jobs, so ask which plant part does both.
Partner talk
Use page 2 as a talking task. Before they circle, partners say why a plant with no roots cannot take in water from the soil.
Reading support
Every question on page 2 has only two choices and a picture. That keeps it open to students who are still building reading stamina.
