Let's go through each question on the worksheet and solve it step by step.
---
Question 1: Plants use what to create their own food?
Choices:
- Wind
- Sunlight
✔ Correct Answer: Sunlight
Explanation:
Plants make their own food through a process called
photosynthesis. They use
sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose (food) and oxygen. The sun provides the energy needed for this process. While wind can help with pollination or seed dispersal, it is not used to create food. So, the correct answer is
Sunlight.

Circle: Sunlight

Question 2: Circle the living things that would live in a wetlands habitat.
The images shown are:
1.
Tiger – Lives in forests or grasslands, not typically in wetlands.
2.
Frog –
✔ Frogs live in wetlands like ponds, swamps, and marshes.
3.
Palm tree – Usually found in tropical areas, but not specifically wetlands.
4.
Lily pad –
✔ This is a plant that grows in water, common in wetlands.
5.
Turtle –
✔ Many turtles live in wetlands such as ponds and lakes.
6.
Coconut tree – Grows near coasts, not typical wetland habitat.
✔ Living things that live in wetlands:
- Frog
- Lily pad
- Turtle
👉
Circle: Frog, Lily pad, Turtle

Question 3: Circle the seeds that could be spread by wind.
The seeds shown are:
1.
Acorn – Heavy, falls from the tree; not spread by wind.
✘
2.
Mimosa pod (or bean pod) – Typically split open and seeds fall nearby; not wind-dispersed.
✘
3.
Coconut – Very heavy; spreads by water, not wind.
✘
4.
Dandelion seed (feathery parachute) –
✔ Lightweight and has a parachute-like structure to float in the wind.
✔ Only the dandelion seed is adapted for wind dispersal.
👉
Circle: The dandelion seed (the one with feathery parts)
---
✔ Final Answers Summary:
1.
Sunlight
2.
Frog, Lily pad, Turtle
3.
Dandelion seed (feathery one)
These answers teach kids about photosynthesis, habitats, and seed dispersal methods—key concepts in ecosystems!
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of what is an ecosystem worksheet.
