Year 3 Science worksheet on plant growth with a diagram of a plant pot and related vocabulary.

I'll work through this fill-in-the-blanks exercise step by step, using the words from the plant pot word bank.

Word Bank: light, spindly, healthy, dioxide, water, nutrients, light, carbon, soil, conditions, plant

Let me go through each sentence:

1. "Plants can only grow under certain _______."
- This needs a general term about what plants need → conditions

2. "They need _______, air, light and warmth."
- Looking at the list of things plants need, this should be → water

3. "If a _______ does not have these things it will slowly die."
- This is talking about something that needs these things to live → plant

4. "A _______ plant has green leaves and stands up strongly."
- This describes a good, thriving plant → healthy

5. "A plant that has been deprived of _______ will lose its leaves."
- Plants need water to keep their leaves → water

6. "A plant that has been deprived of _______ will turn yellow, thin and _______."
- First blank: What makes plants turn yellow? Lack of light → light
- Second blank: The opposite of strong/healthy → spindly

7. "To stay healthy a plant needs to take water and nutrients from the _______."
- Where do plants get water and nutrients from? → soil

8. "A plant takes _______ _______ from the air and uses it with water and _______ to create food."
- Plants take in carbon dioxide from air → carbon dioxide
- They use it with water and light (for photosynthesis) → light

Let me verify all the words are used correctly from the word bank:
- conditions ✓
- water ✓ (used twice, which matches - appears twice in word bank)
- plant ✓
- healthy ✓
- water ✓
- light ✓ (used twice, which matches - appears twice in word bank)
- spindly ✓
- soil ✓
- carbon ✓
- dioxide ✓
- light ✓
- nutrients ✓

All words accounted for!

Final Answer:

1. conditions
2. water
3. plant
4. healthy
5. water
6. light, spindly
