This worksheet asks you to write down facts about wetlands. Since there is no single "correct" answer like a math problem, here are some true and simple facts you can write on the lines to complete your homework. You can choose 3 or 4 of these:
1.
Wetlands are where land meets water. They are areas that are covered with water for at least part of the year.
2.
Many animals live there. You can find frogs, turtles, ducks, fish, and insects in wetlands.
3.
Plants love wet soil. Special plants like cattails, reeds, and lily pads grow well because their roots stay in the water or mud.
4.
They act like sponges. Wetlands soak up extra rainwater, which helps prevent flooding in nearby towns.
5.
They clean the water. As water moves slowly through a wetland, the plants and soil trap dirt and pollution, making the water cleaner.
