A two-page labeling sheet for kindergarten science. It opens with one line: plants need special things to grow big and strong. Students then write words from a picture word bank (water, sun, soil, air, and plant) on the five blank lines of a plant diagram. The answer key gives the order: A is sun, B is air, C is water, D is plant, and E is soil. It is a short task for NGSS K-LS1-1, which asks students to describe what plants need to survive.
K-LS1-1
“Use observations to describe patterns of what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive.”
Labels A, B, C, and E name four needs (sun, air, water, soil) on one diagram.
A diagram with lines labeled A to E and a picture word bank. Students copy water, sun, soil, air, or plant onto each line.
The labels run A: sun, B: air, C: water, D: plant, E: soil.
Seed planting day
Hand it out on the day you plant seeds in cups. Students point to the soil, the water, and the light in the room as they label.
Copying practice
The picture word bank lets early writers copy each word. Watch for students who pick the right picture but copy the wrong word.
Morning work
Five labels take a few minutes. It works as quiet work while you take attendance.
