In this Grade 2 science worksheet, young students sort plants by habitat, choosing between land and water homes for a cactus, lily pad, oak tree, seaweed, pine tree, water lily, palm tree, and kelp. Five fill in the blank sentences and four true or false questions reinforce how roots, stems, spines, and leaves help different plants grow and survive in deserts, ponds, forests, and the wide salty ocean around the world.
