This medium worksheet moves beyond plant parts into how plants make food and spread seeds. Nine fill-in-the-blank sentences introduce photosynthesis, oxygen, and the role of sunlight, water, and air in making food. The matching activity then pairs four seeds — dandelion, coconut, berry, and acorn — with how they travel: blown by wind, floats on water, eaten by birds, or buried by a squirrel.
Great for building science vocabulary.

Plants and Their Needs
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. Plants use sunlight, water, and air to make their own food.
2. The process plants use to make food from sunlight is called photosynthesis.
3. During photosynthesis, plants release oxygen into the air.
4. Plants take in a gas called carbon dioxide from the air.
5. Seeds can travel to new places by wind, water, or animals.
6. Dandelion seeds float away on the wind.
7. Some seeds stick to animal fur and ride to new places.
8. Coconut seeds can float on water to reach new land.
9. When a bird eats fruit, it can drop seeds far from the parent plant.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.
