To complete this worksheet, you need to draw what a plant looks like at four different stages of its life. Since I cannot draw directly on the page for you, here is a description of exactly what you should draw in each box:
1. Seed
*
What to draw: Draw a small oval or bean shape. You can draw it sitting on top of a little bit of soil (dirt) at the bottom of the box.
*
Detail: It should look small and hard, like a sunflower seed or a bean.
2. Sprout
*
What to draw: Draw a small green stem coming out of the soil. At the top of the stem, draw two small leaves opening up.
*
Detail: You might still see part of the seed shell attached to the bottom of the stem where it meets the dirt. The plant is very short here.
3. Plant
*
What to draw: Draw a taller, stronger stem with several larger green leaves.
*
Detail: The roots should be drawn underground (below the soil line) to show they are holding the plant in place. This stage shows the plant growing bigger but not yet having flowers.
4. Flower
*
What to draw: Draw the same tall plant with leaves, but add a colorful flower at the very top.
*
Detail: The flower should have petals and a center. This is the final stage shown on your sheet, where the plant is ready to make new seeds.
Final Answer:
Draw a
seed in the first box, a
small sprout with two leaves in the second box, a
leafy green plant with roots in the third box, and a
plant with a blooming flower on top in the fourth box.
