Let’s solve this step by step.
We are looking at the life cycle of a plant — how it grows from a tiny seed into a full-grown plant that can make more seeds. The pictures show different stages, but they’re not in order yet. We need to put them in the right sequence and match each picture with the correct label.
Here are the labels we have:
- seed
- germinating seed
- sprouting seed
- sapling
- plant
- plant w/flowers
Now let’s look at what each picture shows:
1. Top left: Just a bean-shaped thing — that’s the
seed before anything happens.
2. Top middle: Seed with little roots starting to come out — that’s the
germinating seed (it’s waking up!).
3. Top right: Seed with bigger roots and a shoot coming up — that’s the
sprouting seed (it’s pushing through the soil).
4. Bottom left: Small plant with leaves above ground and roots below — that’s a
sapling (a baby plant).
5. Bottom middle: Bigger plant with more leaves — that’s just called a
plant (growing strong).
6. Bottom right: Plant with flowers on it — that’s
plant w/flowers (ready to make new seeds!).
So the correct order from start to finish is:
1. seed → top left
2. germinating seed → top middle
3. sprouting seed → top right
4. sapling → bottom left
5. plant → bottom middle
6. plant w/flowers → bottom right
You would color each picture, cut them out, write the correct label under each one, and paste them in order from 1 to 6.
Final Answer:
The correct order of the plant life cycle stages is:
1. seed
2. germinating seed
3. sprouting seed
4. sapling
5. plant
6. plant w/flowers
