This worksheet introduces the main visible parts of a flowering plant and asks children to identify or match structures such as roots, stem, leaves and flower. The aim is to connect words with features children can also observe in real plants, rather than treating plant vocabulary as a list to memorise.
Free for personal, homeschool and classroom practice according to Picartica’s usage terms.
Early science begins with careful observation. Learning the names of plant parts gives children language for describing what they see and prepares them to discuss what different structures do. At this stage, the most useful understanding is concrete: roots are usually below the soil, the stem supports the plant, leaves grow from the stem, and flowers are one visible part of many flowering plants.
Build confidence in plant parts by practising identify common plant structures and match science vocabulary to a diagram.
Look at the plant diagram together before completing any labels. Ask your child what they notice first and let them point to each part before naming it. After completing the activity, compare the picture with a real plant, garden plant or photograph and look for the same structures.
Choose a real plant and make a simple observation drawing. Label any roots, stem, leaves and flowers that are visible. If the roots cannot be seen, add a dotted line to show where the soil would be.
