How do desert plants get by with little water?

Many store water. A cactus stores water in its thick stem, and an aloe plant stores it in its thick leaves. A yucca also grows in dry places with very little rain.

Do these worksheets have answer keys?

Yes. Both sheets have an answer key.

Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher

Plant habitats worksheets for 2nd grade show that different plants grow in places that fit their needs. Children read that a cactus stores water in its thick stem and an aloe plant in its thick leaves, while a pond lily grows with its roots under a pond and a cattail in wet, muddy ground, then sort six plants by how much water they need. Another page matches each habitat to the plant that grows there, from a desert cactus to a pond lily (NGSS 2-LS4-1). There are 2 sheets, each with an answer key.

Frequently Asked Questions

A habitat is the place where a plant lives and gets what it needs. A desert is a dry place with very little rain, and a pond has water all year. Each plant has a home that fits its needs, so a cactus would not grow well in a pond (2-LS4-1).
