Life Cycle of Plants - Worksheet | Printable and Distance Learning ... - Free Printable

Let's solve this step by step.

We are given a diagram of the life cycle of a tomato plant, and we need to label each stage using the words from the box:

Words in the box:

- Plant with fruit
- Plant
- Germination
- Seed planting
- Sprout
- Seedling
- Flowers
- Fruit with seeds

---

Now, let’s analyze the diagram in order, following the arrows (clockwise or counterclockwise). The cycle starts with seed planting and moves through growth stages.

Let’s go around the cycle clockwise starting from the bottom:

1. Bottom center: This shows tomatoes, one cut open to reveal seeds inside → This is Fruit with seeds.
2. Next (moving clockwise): A hand planting a seed into soil → This is Seed planting.
3. Then: A small sprouting seed → This is Germination (the process where the seed starts to grow).
4. Next: A tiny plant with two leaves and roots → This is Sprout.
5. Next: A slightly larger plant with more leaves → This is Seedling.
6. Next: A mature plant with yellow flowers → This is Flowers.
7. Next: A plant with red tomatoes → This is Plant with fruit.
8. Back to the beginning: The fruits contain seeds → These seeds will be used for Seed planting again.

But wait — we have 8 boxes to fill, and 8 labels. Let’s match them correctly based on the images.

Step-by-step labeling (following the arrows):

Let’s go clockwise from the bottom:

1. Bottom center – Tomatoes with seeds inside → Fruit with seeds
2. Left side, below seed planting – Seeds being planted → Seed planting
3. Below that – Seed starting to grow → Germination
4. Above that – Small plant with first leaves → Sprout
5. Next stage – Slightly bigger plant → Seedling
6. Next – Mature plant with flowers → Flowers
7. Next – Plant bearing tomatoes → Plant with fruit
8. Final stage before returning – The full-grown plant → Plant

Wait — but the word "Plant" is listed, and it's different from "Plant with fruit". So likely:

- Plant = the mature plant before flowering?
- But here, after seedling comes flowers, then plant with fruit.

Actually, let’s re-express the correct sequence:

Correct Life Cycle of a Tomato Plant:

1. Seed planting → planting the seed
2. Germination → seed absorbs water, grows root and shoot
3. Sprout → first green shoot emerges
4. Seedling → young plant with true leaves
5. Plant → mature plant with stems, leaves
6. Flowers → plant produces flowers
7. Plant with fruit → flowers turn into fruits (tomatoes)
8. Fruit with seeds → fruit contains seeds for next generation

So now, matching to the diagram:

Let’s assign the labels in clockwise order starting from the bottom:

- Bottom center: Fruit with seeds ✔
- Bottom left: Seed planting ✔ (hand planting seed)
- Left middle: Germination ✔ (seed sprouting)
- Left top: Sprout ✔ (tiny plant emerging)
- Top left: Seedling ✔ (smaller plant with more leaves)
- Top right: Plant ✔ (mature plant with many leaves)
- Right middle: Flowers ✔ (yellow flowers)
- Right bottom: Plant with fruit ✔ (plant with red tomatoes)

Wait — the right bottom has the plant with tomatoes, so that should be Plant with fruit.

And the top right is just a mature plant with no fruit yet? No — actually, in the diagram:

Looking at the image:

- Top left: small plant → Seedling
- Top right: taller plant with leaves → Plant
- Right middle: plant with yellow flowers → Flowers
- Right bottom: plant with red tomatoes → Plant with fruit
- Bottom center: tomatoes with seeds → Fruit with seeds
- Bottom left: seeds being planted → Seed planting
- Left middle: seed germinating → Germination
- Left top: small plant with cotyledons → Sprout

Yes! So the cycle goes:

1. Seed planting → hand planting seed
2. Germination → seed splitting, root growing
3. Sprout → first leaves appear
4. Seedling → more developed young plant
5. Plant → mature plant without flowers yet
6. Flowers → plant blooms
7. Plant with fruit → fruits develop
8. Fruit with seeds → ripe fruit containing seeds

Then back to Seed planting.

Final Answer: Labeling the boxes in order (clockwise):

Starting from the bottom center and going clockwise:

1. Fruit with seeds → bottom center (tomatoes)
2. Plant with fruit → right bottom (plant with tomatoes)
3. Flowers → right middle (yellow flowers)
4. Plant → top right (mature plant)
5. Seedling → top left (smaller plant)
6. Sprout → left top (young plant with two leaves)
7. Germination → left middle (seed sprouting)
8. Seed planting → bottom left (hand planting seed)

Wait — but the diagram has 8 boxes, and we have 8 stages. Let’s number them as per the positions:

Let’s assume the boxes are in this order (clockwise):

- Box 1: Top left → Seedling
- Box 2: Top right → Plant
- Box 3: Right middle → Flowers
- Box 4: Right bottom → Plant with fruit
- Box 5: Bottom center → Fruit with seeds
- Box 6: Bottom left → Seed planting
- Box 7: Left middle → Germination
- Box 8: Left top → Sprout

Yes! That matches the images.

So final labeling:

- Top left: Seedling
- Top right: Plant
- Right middle: Flowers
- Right bottom: Plant with fruit
- Bottom center: Fruit with seeds
- Bottom left: Seed planting
- Left middle: Germination
- Left top: Sprout

✔ All words used once.

Final Answer (Box Labels):

| Position | Label |
|------------------|-------------------|
| Top left | Seedling |
| Top right | Plant |
| Right middle | Flowers |
| Right bottom | Plant with fruit |
| Bottom center | Fruit with seeds |
| Bottom left | Seed planting |
| Left middle | Germination |
| Left top | Sprout |

This completes the life cycle of the tomato plant.

Summary of the Cycle:

1. Seed planting → seed is placed in soil
2. Germination → seed absorbs water, root and shoot emerge
3. Sprout → first leaves appear
4. Seedling → young plant develops
5. Plant → matures
6. Flowers → blooms form
7. Plant with fruit → flowers turn into fruits
8. Fruit with seeds → fruit ripens, contains seeds
9. Back to Seed planting → seeds dispersed and planted

This is a complete cycle!
