Let's solve the "Parts of a Sunflower" worksheet step by step.
Objective:
Label the parts of the sunflower using the words provided in the word bank:
- leaf
- flower
- stem
- roots
- seeds
---
Step 1: Identify the parts of the sunflower in the image
Looking at the diagram:
1.
Top part (yellow petals and center): This is the
flower.
- The center of the flower contains
seeds, but the main structure shown here is the
flower.
2.
Green stalk going up from the roots: This is the
stem.
3.
Green flat structures on the sides of the stem: These are the
leaves.
4.
Underground branching structure: These are the
roots.
5.
Center of the flower (brown part): This contains the
seeds.

Step 2: Match each label to the correct blank
Now, let’s match the labels from the word bank to the five blanks from top to bottom:
1.
Top blank → points to the
flower (yellow petals and center)
2.
Second blank → points to the
seeds (in the center of the flower)
3.
Third blank → points to the
stem (green stalk)
4.
Fourth blank → points to the
leaf (green leaf on the side)
5.
Bottom blank → points to the
roots (underground)
---
✔ Final Answer:
From
top to bottom, fill in the blanks as follows:
1.
flower
2.
seeds
3.
stem
4.
leaf
5.
roots

Explanation:
- The
flower is the large yellow part at the top that attracts pollinators.
- The
seeds are located in the center of the flower; they develop after pollination.
- The
stem supports the plant and transports water and nutrients.
- The
leaves perform photosynthesis to make food for the plant.
- The
roots anchor the plant and absorb water and minerals from the soil.
This labeling helps students understand plant anatomy and the function of each part.
✔ Completed Worksheet:
```
[ flower ] ——→ (top of sunflower)
[ seeds ] ——→ (center of flower)
[ stem ] ——→ (green stalk)
[ leaf ] ——→ (green leaf)
[ roots ] ——→ (underground)
```
