Parts of a Seed Worksheet for Grade 3 Science

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are given a diagram of a seed with 5 blank labels and 5 words to choose from:
seed coat, embryo, root, leaves, food

We also have fill-in-the-blank sentences below the diagram that will help us match the parts correctly.

---

First, let’s look at the diagram:

- The outer brown layer is protecting everything inside → that must be the seed coat.
- Inside, there’s a small green plant-like structure — that’s the baby plant → that’s the embryo.
- The embryo has two main parts: one part looks like tiny leaves (green and leafy) → those are the leaves.
- Another part of the embryo points downward → that will become the root.
- The big beige area filling most of the seed → that’s the stored food for the baby plant.

Now let’s label the arrows based on position:

1. Arrow pointing to the outer brown layer → seed coat
2. Arrow pointing to the whole inner baby plant structure → embryo
3. Arrow pointing to the leafy green part → leaves
4. Arrow pointing to the bottom tip of the embryo → root
5. Arrow pointing to the large beige area → food

Wait — actually, looking again at the diagram layout:

There are 5 boxes with arrows:

- Top box arrow → points to the top part of the embryo (the leafy part) → leaves
- Right box arrow → points to the lower part of the embryo (pointing down) → root
- Bottom right box arrow → points to the outer brown layer → seed coat
- Bottom left box arrow → points to the big beige area → food
- Left middle box arrow → points to the entire inner green structure (which includes both leaves and root) → that’s the embryo

Yes, that makes sense.

So labeling from top to bottom, left to right as they appear in the image:

Top box → leaves
Right box → root
Bottom right box → seed coat
Bottom left box → food
Left middle box → embryo

But wait — let’s double-check using the sentences below.

Sentences:

> A ________ protects the seed. → That’s definitely seed coat

> The ________ is the baby plant. → That’s the embryo

> It has a ________ which will grow down. → That’s the root

> The ________ will grow up. → That’s the leaves

> The seed has stored ________ that the baby plant will use to grow. → That’s food

Perfect! So now we can confidently assign each word.

Now back to the diagram labels — let’s map them properly.

Looking at the actual positions in the image (as described):

- The topmost arrow points to the leafy part → leaves
- The arrow on the right side points to the root part → root
- The arrow on the bottom right points to the outer shell → seed coat
- The arrow on the bottom left points to the big beige area → food
- The arrow on the left middle points to the whole green baby plant → embryo

So the labeled diagram should be:

Top box: leaves
Right box: root
Bottom right box: seed coat
Bottom left box: food
Left middle box: embryo

Now fill in the blanks:

A seed coat protects the seed.
The embryo is the baby plant. It has a root which will grow down. The leaves will grow up.
The seed has stored food that the baby plant will use to grow.

All matches perfectly.

Final Answer:

Diagram Labels (from top to bottom, left to right as shown in image):

- Top box: leaves
- Right box: root
- Bottom right box: seed coat
- Bottom left box: food
- Left middle box: embryo

Fill-in-the-blanks:

A seed coat protects the seed.
The embryo is the baby plant. It has a root which will grow down. The leaves will grow up.
The seed has stored food that the baby plant will use to grow.
