The life cycle of a plant - vocabulary and definition activity - worksheet

The life cycle of a plant is a fascinating journey that involves several key stages, each with its own unique processes and vocabulary. To understand this cycle, it's important to become familiar with the terms and their definitions. One such activity involves matching descriptions of the plant life cycle stages with their corresponding names and allocating points for correct answers.

The activity begins by identifying the act of carrying pollen from stamens to pistils, known as pollination. Following this, the stage from being a seed to developing into a plant is termed growth. When a seed starts to sprout, it is in the germination phase. The subsequent stage, when a plant starts to blossom, is called flowering. Finally, the reproduction stage, where the flower produces new seeds, is known as fertilisation. Participants are tasked with linking these descriptions to the correct names—flowering, growth, germination, pollination, and fertilisation—and assigning the correct number next to each description. The worksheet is designed to be completed in 10 minutes and is an effective tool for teaching about the roles different parts of plants play in their growth and development.
