This easy worksheet introduces second graders to what plants need to survive. Students start by sorting six items into Plants Need This or Plants Do NOT Need This, separating sunlight, water, and air from candy, toys, and television. Next, five fill-in-the-blank sentences introduce the words roots, stem, and leaves. The page ends with four true or false statements about sunlight, water, and where roots grow.
