How do animals help plants?

Animals move pollen and seeds. Bees, butterflies and bats carry pollen from flower to flower so plants can make seeds, and squirrels, birds and dogs carry seeds away from the parent plant (2-LS2-2).

What are the parts of a plant?

A plant has roots, a stem, leaves, flowers, fruit and seeds. Roots grow under the soil and hold the plant in place. The plant part pages have children label each part and tell what it does.

Do the plant worksheets have answer keys?

Yes. All 37 sheets have an answer key.

2nd Grade Plants and Food Worksheets

Ages 7-8 · Free previews · Print-ready PDFs

Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher

Plants and food worksheets for second graders ages 7-8 explore which parts of a plant we eat and where our food actually comes from. Students learn that roots (carrots), stems (celery), leaves (lettuce), flowers (broccoli), fruits (apples), and seeds (sunflower seeds) are all edible plant parts. These worksheets build nutritional awareness alongside plant science and help children see grocery store foods in an entirely new way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Plants need light, water, air and soil. They use light to make their own food. In one class's test, a bean plant kept in a dark closet grew pale yellow leaves and a weak stem, while one by a sunny window grew green and strong (2-LS2-1).
