Six small pictures on this 4th grade worksheet show an apple blossom turning into an apple. Students read the caption under each one, from a blossom opening on the tree to a ripe apple with seeds, and write the numbers 1 to 6 to put the steps in order. Page 2 asks what pollination is, how a bee helps a plant and which part of the flower became the apple. The key gives the order D, B, E, A, F, C.
“Put the stages from apple blossom to ripe apple in order.”
Part 1 has six cards to number from 1 to 6.
“Define pollination as pollen moving from the male part of a flower to the female part.”
Question 1 on page 2.
“Explain how a bee carries pollen from one flower to another.”
Question 2 on page 2.
“Identify the ovary as the part of the flower that grows into the fruit.”
Question 3 asks which part became the apple.
Six picture cards lettered A to F, each with a caption such as a bee lands on the blossom and pollen sticks to its body, and a line for the step number.
Three questions with three or four lines each: what pollination is, how a bee helps a plant, and which part of the flower became the apple.
The step number for each card, the sequence D, B, E, A, F, C, and a model answer for each question.
Cut and arrange
Cut the cards apart so pairs can slide them into order before they write the numbers. Cards B and E look alike, so tell students to read the captions.
Sentence frame
For students who stall on question 1, give a frame: pollination is when pollen moves from the ___ to the ___. The key answer uses the same two parts.
Cut an apple
Slice a real apple across the middle and show the seeds. Ask students which part of the flower they came from.
