Plants and Water - Worksheet
Science Resource Description
A comprehensive Science Activity Worksheet is available for students to explore the fascinating process of water transportation within plants. The worksheet prompts students to conduct a hands-on experiment by cutting a celery stalk both across and lengthways and recording their observations in a provided table. This visual investigation allows students to see the inner workings of plant structures and gain insight into how water moves through a plant's system.
Further engaging the students, the worksheet includes an activity where they must sequence the stages of water transportation in plants. They are asked to number the steps correctly, from the absorption of water by the roots to the evaporation of water from the leaves. Additionally, the worksheet provides a diagram of a plant for students to draw arrows indicating the direction of water flow. To test their understanding, they must also complete sentences with missing words related to the topic, using a word bank for assistance. Terms like 'healthy', 'weight', 'weak', 'plant', 'stem', 'tubes', 'roots', 'soil', and 'water' are included to enrich the students' vocabulary and comprehension of plant hydration and nutrition.
