To solve this task, we need to complete the life cycle of a flowering plant by filling in the missing steps in the left flower. The right flower provides visual and textual clues for the stages of the life cycle. Let’s break it down step by step:
---
Step 1: Understand the Life Cycle
The life cycle of a flowering plant typically includes the following stages:
1.
Seed is planted - A seed is placed in the soil.
2.
Roots grow down - The seed sprouts roots that grow downward into the soil.
3.
Sprout forms - A small shoot (sprout) grows upward from the seed.
4.
A bud forms - The plant develops a bud, which is a small swelling where a flower will grow.
5.
A flower grows - The bud opens into a full flower.
6.
Pollination and Seed Formation - After pollination, the flower produces seeds, and the cycle begins again.

Step 2: Match the Clues
The right flower shows illustrations and text for each stage. We can use these to fill in the blanks on the left flower:
-
Top petal: "Seed is planted" (already filled).
-
Right petal: "Roots grow down" (already filled).
-
Bottom-right petal: "Sprout forms" (already filled).
-
Bottom-left petal: This should correspond to the next stage, which is
"A bud forms".
-
Left petal: This should correspond to the final stage, which is
"A flower grows".

Step 3: Fill in the Missing Petals
Based on the life cycle and the clues from the right flower:
-
Bottom-left petal: Write "A bud forms".
-
Left petal: Write "A flower grows".
---
Final Answer
The completed life cycle on the left flower should read as follows:
1. Seed is planted
2. Roots grow down
3. Sprout forms
4. A bud forms
5. A flower grows
Final Answer:
"A bud forms" and "A flower grows"
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of life cycle of a flower worksheet.
