Problem Explanation:
This worksheet is designed to help children understand how sunlight affects plant growth. The key idea is:
>
Plants need sunlight to grow healthy.
> If a plant doesn't get enough sunlight, it will:
> - Grow thin and weak
> - Have yellowing leaves
> - May lose leaves
We are asked to
check off the plant in each pair that is not getting enough sunlight, based on visual clues.
---
Step-by-Step Analysis of Each Pair:
####
Pair 1:
-
Left Plant: Bright green, full, healthy leaves.
-
Right Plant: Pale, yellowish leaves, sparse, drooping.
✔ The right plant shows signs of poor sunlight (yellow leaves, weak growth).
👉
Check the box next to the right plant.
---
####
Pair 2:
-
Left Plant: Vibrant green leaves, upright, red flower — looks strong and healthy.
-
Right Plant: Drooping, dull green leaves, less vibrant, appears limp.
✔ The right plant looks unhealthy — likely not getting enough sunlight.
👉
Check the box next to the right plant.
---
####
Pair 3:
-
Left Plant: Thin trunk, sparse leaves, some yellowing leaves on the ground — signs of poor health.
-
Right Plant: Full, lush, green leaves, has fruits (lemons) — clearly thriving.
✔ The left plant shows clear signs of lack of sunlight (weak structure, yellowing).
👉
Check the box next to the left plant.
---
✔ Final Answers:
-
Pair 1: Check the
right plant.
-
Pair 2: Check the
right plant.
-
Pair 3: Check the
left plant.
---
🌿 Summary:
Plants that are
not getting enough sunlight typically look:
- Yellow or pale
- Weak or droopy
- Sparse or with falling leaves
Use these clues to identify the unhealthy plant in each pair.
