Plant parts

Start with something students can look at or think about: a photo, a short video, a jar on the windowsill, or a question like "what do you already know about parts of a plant?" Then let them work through it with your modeling first (do the first item together on the board), then try the rest with a partner, keeping a word bank or anchor chart in view so the vocabulary stays available. When you review, ask students how they knew, and let them point to the part of the diagram or reading that told them. These parts of a plant worksheets work well as a lead in before an investigation, as a way to capture what students noticed afterward, or as review before an assessment.

These parts of a plant worksheets for Kindergarten give students a clear, visual way to work through one of the big ideas in plants and animals. Students label diagrams, sort and classify examples, read short explanations, and answer questions that ask them to say why, not just what. Each page keeps the science vocabulary front and center so students leave with the words they need to talk about parts of a plant accurately. Working through parts of a plant on paper gives Kindergarten students something concrete to hold onto before, during, or after the hands on part of a lesson.

Yes, both. We made it for Kindergarten plants and animals, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with parts of a plant. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

Draw a line from each label (roots, stem, leaf, flower) to the matching part on a plant diagram. It is a picture-labeling task, no reading required beyond the four labels.

That worksheet gives four written clues, like "the part that holds the plant in the soil," plus a word bank, so children read a description and choose the matching name. This one skips the reading and matches straight from a picture.

This diagram-matching version, since it needs no reading. Naming the Parts of a Plant is a good next step once children can already point to all four parts on a picture.

These worksheets teach kindergartners the names and functions of a plant's main parts: roots, stem, leaves, flowers, and sometimes seeds or fruit. Children learn that roots absorb water, stems carry nutrients, leaves make food from sunlight, and flowers help plants reproduce.

Parts of a plant are typically covered in kindergarten science as part of the life science or plants unit. This topic is often paired with hands-on planting activities, making it a memorable and engaging part of the science curriculum.

Pull a plant out of a pot and explore its parts together, then use the worksheet to label what you found. You can also use fruits and vegetables from the kitchen to show that we eat different parts of different plants, roots like carrots, leaves like spinach, and fruits like apples.

2 printable worksheets, all free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for Kindergarten students, roughly ages 3-6. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Yes. Each one shows the NGSS code it covers on its own page, so you can check the alignment yourself rather than taking our word for it.

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Kindergarten classroom, a literacy centre, or a tutoring session.
