This life science worksheet helps students learn the plant life cycle by matching images of different growth stages to the correct labels in a circular diagram.

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are matching parts of the plant life cycle to pictures on the right. The cycle goes in a circle with arrows showing the order:

Start at Seed → then Sprout → then Seedling → then Plant → then Flower → then Fruit → and back to Seed.

Now let’s look at the pictures on the right (from top to bottom):

1. A single seed (brown, oval) → matches Seed
2. A sprouting seed (with little root coming out) → matches Sprout
3. A small green plant with leaves → matches Seedling
4. A bigger plant with flowers and fruit (tomato plant) → this shows both flower and fruit, but we need to pick one per box. Since “Flower” comes before “Fruit”, and there’s a separate tomato picture below, this one is likely for Flower (it has white flowers).
5. A red tomato → that’s the Fruit
6. A young plant with roots visible → this looks like a Seedling too? Wait — actually, looking again: #3 is a small leafy plant, #6 is a plant with roots shown — maybe #6 is meant to be “Plant”? But no — let’s think carefully.

Actually, let’s list the stages again in order:

- Seed → Sprout → Seedling → Plant → Flower → Fruit → (back to Seed)

Pictures from top to bottom:

1. Seed → matches “Seed”
2. Sprouting seed → matches “Sprout”
3. Small green plant → matches “Seedling”
4. Tomato plant with flowers and fruit → since it has flowers, and “Flower” stage comes before “Fruit”, this should match “Flower”
5. Red tomato → matches “Fruit”
6. Young plant with roots → this might be confusing, but actually, after seedling comes “Plant” — so this could be “Plant”? But wait — there’s also a star-shaped leaf at the bottom.

Wait — let’s count the boxes: There are 6 boxes in the cycle: Seed, Sprout, Seedling, Plant, Flower, Fruit.

And 6 pictures on the right.

So:

Top picture (seed) → Seed
Second (sprouting) → Sprout
Third (small plant) → Seedling
Fourth (tomato plant with flowers) → Flower
Fifth (red tomato) → Fruit
Sixth (plant with roots and stem) → Plant? But that doesn’t fit because “Plant” should come after “Seedling” and before “Flower”.

Wait — maybe I have the order wrong? Let me check the arrows.

Looking at the diagram:

Arrows go:

Seed → Sprout
Sprout → Seedling
Seedling → Plant
Plant → Flower
Flower → Fruit
Fruit → Seed

Yes, that’s correct.

So now assign pictures:

Picture 1 (seed) → Seed
Picture 2 (sprout) → Sprout
Picture 3 (small plant) → Seedling
Picture 4 (tomato plant with flowers) → Flower? But it also has fruit — hmm. Maybe it’s meant to represent “Plant” stage? Because “Plant” is the mature plant that produces flowers.

Actually, in many diagrams, “Plant” refers to the mature vegetative plant, and “Flower” is when it blooms.

But here, picture 4 shows a plant with both flowers and fruit — which is odd.

Perhaps the intended matching is:

- Seed → Picture 1
- Sprout → Picture 2
- Seedling → Picture 3
- Plant → Picture 6 (the one with roots and stem — maybe representing a growing plant)
- Flower → Picture 4 (since it has flowers)
- Fruit → Picture 5 (tomato)

But what about picture 7? Wait — there are only 6 pictures? Let me recount.

In the image, on the right column, there are 6 rows:

Row 1: seed
Row 2: sprouting seed
Row 3: small plant
Row 4: tomato plant with flowers and fruit
Row 5: red tomato
Row 6: plant with roots and stem
Row 7: star-shaped leaf? Wait — actually, looking again, there are 7 items? No — let's see:

Actually, in the original image description, it says "on the right" — and typically these worksheets have 6 images for 6 stages.

But in your text, you listed:

"right column: seed, sprout, seedling, plant with flowers/fruit, tomato, plant with roots, star leaf" — that’s 7.

Wait — perhaps the last one (star leaf) is not part of the matching? Or maybe it’s a distractor?

No — let’s think differently.

Standard plant life cycle for tomato or similar:

1. Seed
2. Germination (sprout)
3. Seedling
4. Mature plant (vegetative)
5. Flowering
6. Fruiting
7. Seeds inside fruit → back to seed

But in this diagram, they have 6 stages: Seed, Sprout, Seedling, Plant, Flower, Fruit.

So “Plant” likely means the mature plant before flowering.

Now, looking at the pictures:

- Picture 1: seed → Seed
- Picture 2: sprout → Sprout
- Picture 3: small plant → Seedling
- Picture 4: tomato plant with flowers and fruit → this is tricky. It might be intended for “Flower” since it has flowers, even though it also has fruit.
- Picture 5: tomato → Fruit
- Picture 6: plant with roots → this could be “Plant” (mature plant)
- Picture 7: star leaf — probably not used, or maybe it’s for “Seedling”? But we already have picture 3.

I think there might be a mistake in counting. Let me assume there are 6 pictures as per standard worksheet.

Upon second thought, in many such worksheets, the pictures are:

1. Seed
2. Sprout
3. Seedling
4. Adult plant (without flowers)
5. Flower
6. Fruit

But here, picture 4 shows a plant with flowers and fruit — which is unusual.

Perhaps for this worksheet:

- Seed → picture 1
- Sprout → picture 2
- Seedling → picture 3
- Plant → picture 6 (the one with roots and stem — representing a growing plant)
- Flower → picture 4 (because it has flowers)
- Fruit → picture 5 (tomato)

And the star leaf might be extra or for decoration.

But let’s confirm with logic.

Another way: the arrow from Fruit goes back to Seed, so the fruit contains seeds.

In picture 5, the tomato is the fruit, which contains seeds.

Picture 4 has flowers, which become fruit.

Picture 6 is a plant with roots — likely the "Plant" stage.

Picture 3 is a small plant — seedling.

So final matching:

- Seed: picture 1 (top)
- Sprout: picture 2
- Seedling: picture 3
- Plant: picture 6 (bottom one with roots)
- Flower: picture 4 (tomato plant with flowers)
- Fruit: picture 5 (red tomato)

But what about the star leaf? In the user's message, it says "and a star-shaped leaf" at the end. Perhaps it's not part of the matching, or maybe it's for "Seedling"? But we have picture 3 for that.

I think for the purpose of this task, we'll go with:

Matching:

- Seed → first picture (seed)
- Sprout → second picture (sprouting seed)
- Seedling → third picture (small green plant)
- Plant → sixth picture (plant with roots and stem)
- Flower → fourth picture (tomato plant with flowers)
- Fruit → fifth picture (red tomato)

The seventh item (star leaf) might be a distractor or error, but since there are six boxes, we use six pictures.

So to write the answer clearly:

For each box in the cycle, match to the picture number from top to bottom (1 to 6, ignoring the star if it's extra).

But in the image, the right column has 6 cells? Let me assume based on standard.

Perhaps the star leaf is for "Seedling" but that doesn't make sense.

Another idea: maybe the pictures are:

1. Seed
2. Sprout
3. Seedling
4. Plant (mature)
5. Flower
6. Fruit

But in the description, picture 4 is "a plant with flowers and fruit", which is confusing.

Perhaps for this worksheet, "Plant" is represented by the tomato plant without specifying, but it has flowers.

I recall that in some curricula, the "Plant" stage is when it's fully grown but not yet flowering, and "Flower" is when it blooms.

So picture 6 (plant with roots) might be "Plant", and picture 4 is "Flower" because it has flowers.

Yes.

So let's finalize:

- Seed: picture 1
- Sprout: picture 2
- Seedling: picture 3
- Plant: picture 6
- Flower: picture 4
- Fruit: picture 5

And the star leaf is probably not used or is a mistake.

So for the student, we can say:

Match as follows:

- The "Seed" box goes with the first picture (the seed).
- The "Sprout" box goes with the second picture (the sprouting seed).
- The "Seedling" box goes with the third picture (the small green plant).
- The "Plant" box goes with the sixth picture (the plant with roots showing).
- The "Flower" box goes with the fourth picture (the tomato plant with white flowers).
- The "Fruit" box goes with the fifth picture (the red tomato).

This makes sense with the life cycle order.

Final Answer:
- Seed → Picture 1 (seed)
- Sprout → Picture 2 (sprouting seed)
- Seedling → Picture 3 (small plant)
- Plant → Picture 6 (plant with roots)
- Flower → Picture 4 (tomato plant with flowers)
- Fruit → Picture 5 (red tomato)
