This hard worksheet challenges second graders with science vocabulary and reasoning. Part A has four multiple choice questions about what plants need to make food, which part absorbs water, and what gas plants release during photosynthesis. Part B has five fill-in-the-blank sentences using harder words like chlorophyll and nutrients, plus a comparison describing the stem as a straw carrying water up to the leaves for stronger thinking.
