Plants - Answers

In the educational resource for Year Two students on the topic of plants, a variety of questions assess the understanding of plant growth and development. The first question requires the children to identify which plant grew in the dark from a set of pictures. The next question asks them to name another essential element for plant growth besides light, with the answers being water and warmth. The third question presents a series of statements about plant growth, such as whether seeds contain enough food for a good start in life or if they can grow when frozen, and students must determine if these statements are true or false.

The resource continues with an activity where students are asked to sequence the steps involved in planting seeds, from preparing the soil to harvesting seeds from a grown plant. Another question challenges the children to predict where a plant would grow tallest among different environments, including a windowless room, a windowsill, a shed, and a cupboard. Additionally, students match the heights of plants to their respective growing locations, such as a garden or a windowsill. They are also asked to identify which continent tends to have smaller plants and to provide a reason for this, with acceptable answers being cold or dry conditions. This comprehensive set of questions and activities is designed to deepen students' understanding of the factors affecting plant growth.
