Educational glossary worksheet for learning plant vocabulary with interactive exercises.

Let's solve the problem step by step using the glossary provided in the image.

Step 1: Understand the glossary terms

Here are the definitions from the glossary:

- flower – a part of a plant where new seeds grow
- leaf – a part of a plant that grows on the stem
- root – the part of a plant in the soil
- seed – can grow into a new plant
- seedling – a young plant
- soil – the earth that plants grow in
- stem – the main part of a plant
- sun – the thing plants need to grow

---

Step 2: Answer the questions

#### Question 1: A young plant is called a _________.

From the glossary:
> seedling – a young plant

✔ So, the answer is: seedling

---

#### Question 2: What part of a plant is in the soil?

From the glossary:
> root – the part of a plant in the soil

✔ So, the answer is: root

---

#### Question 3: What can grow into a new plant?

From the glossary:
> seed – can grow into a new plant

✔ So, the answer is: seed

Step 3: Write the words in alphabetical order

We are given these words to sort alphabetically:

- dust
- root
- book index
- story book
- sun
- alphabetical
- atlas

Let’s list them and sort alphabetically:

1. alphabetical
2. atlas
3. book index
4. dust
5. root
6. story book
7. sun

Now, write them in the boxes in alphabetical order:

| dust | book index | story book |
|------|------------|------------|
| root | sun | |

Wait — the table has three rows and three columns. Let's check the layout:

It says:

```
dust book index story book
source alphabetical atlas
```

But it seems like the user wants us to reorder these words in alphabetical order, and mark the correct things below the line (probably to fill in the blanks).

Let’s list all seven words again:

1. dust
2. book index
3. story book
4. root
5. sun
6. alphabetical
7. atlas

Now sort them alphabetically:

1. alphabetical
2. atlas
3. book index
4. dust
5. root
6. story book
7. sun

So, the correct alphabetical order is:

- alphabetical
- atlas
- book index
- dust
- root
- story book
- sun

Now, since the original table shows:

```
dust book index story book
source alphabetical atlas
```

And it says “Mark the other things below that have been put in alphabetical order.”

Wait — this might be a typo or mislabeling. The word source doesn't appear in the glossary or the list. Possibly, "source" is meant to be another term, but it's not defined.

But looking back: the instruction says:

> Write the words in alphabetical order. Mark the other things below that have been put in alphabetical order.

So likely, the words to sort are:

- dust
- book index
- story book
- root
- sun
- alphabetical
- atlas

And we need to place them in order.

The final answer for this section should be:

alphabetical, atlas, book index, dust, root, story book, sun

But since there are only three boxes per row, perhaps it's asking to identify which of the listed items are already in alphabetical order.

Looking at the original:

```
dust book index story book
source alphabetical atlas
```

Let’s examine the second row: alphabetical, atlas, and source — but source is not in our list.

Wait — maybe "source" is a typo and should be "sun"? Or perhaps it's just a placeholder.

Alternatively, perhaps the task is to identify which of the given words are in alphabetical order.

But the most logical interpretation is:

We are to write the words in alphabetical order, and then mark (perhaps with a check) the ones that are already correctly ordered.

But since the instruction says:

> Write the words in alphabetical order. Mark the other things below that have been put in alphabetical order.

Possibly, the words in the table are examples, and we are to determine if they are in order.

Let’s look at the first row:

- dust, book index, story book → Is this alphabetical?

Compare:

- book index → starts with "b"
- dust → starts with "d"
- story book → starts with "s"

So: b, d, s → yes, in alphabetical order

Second row:

- source → s
- alphabetical → a
- atlas → a

So: s, a, a → no, not in order

So only the first row is in alphabetical order.

But the instruction says “Mark the other things below that have been put in alphabetical order.”

Perhaps “other” refers to the list of words above.

Wait — let’s re-read:

> Write the words in alphabetical order. Mark the other things below that have been put in alphabetical order.

This is ambiguous.

But based on standard worksheet design, here’s what’s likely intended:

You are to write the following words in alphabetical order:

- dust
- book index
- story book
- root
- sun
- alphabetical
- atlas

Then, below, you see a table with:

```
dust book index story book
source alphabetical atlas
```

And you are to mark (check) the rows that are in alphabetical order.

So:

- Row 1: dust, book index, story book
→ b, d, s → yes, in order ✔

- Row 2: source, alphabetical, atlas
→ s, a, a → no, not in order ✘

So only row 1 is in alphabetical order.

But "source" isn’t one of the words we were supposed to sort — so possibly it's a distractor.

Alternatively, maybe "source" is a mistake and should be "sun".

If it were:

- sun, alphabetical, atlas → s, a, a → still not in order.

So even then, it's not in order.

Therefore, only the first row is in alphabetical order.

But the instruction says “Mark the other things below…” — “other” implies that some are already in order.

So, only the first row is in alphabetical order, so you would mark the first row.

✔ Final Answers:

1. A young plant is called a seedling.
2. What part of a plant is in the soil? root
3. What can grow into a new plant? seed

For the alphabetical order:

Words in alphabetical order:
alphabetical, atlas, book index, dust, root, story book, sun

And among the two rows shown:

- Row 1: dust, book index, story book → ✔ in order
- Row 2: source, alphabetical, atlas → ✘ not in order

So, mark the first row as being in alphabetical order.

📝 Summary:

- Seedling – young plant
- Root – part in soil
- Seed – can grow into a new plant
- Alphabetical order: alphabetical, atlas, book index, dust, root, story book, sun
- Only the first row (dust, book index, story book) is in alphabetical order → mark it.
