Students complete nine problems about garden store rose bush sales, identifying the plant part that anchors in soil, and seedling totals per planter. The matching activity pairs stem, leaf, root, and flower with their specific functions in a plant.
Matching plant parts to functions integrates life science content with the spring seasonal theme while practicing the classification thinking reading and science share.

Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. A garden store sells 8 rose bushes at $14 each. Total sales are $112.
2. The part of a plant that anchors it in the soil is called the root.
3. Seven planters hold 18 seedlings each. There are 126 seedlings total.
4. Clues in a story that help readers guess what happens next are called hints.
5. A farmer places 144 seeds equally into 12 trays. Each tray has 12 seeds.
6. A guess based on clues and background knowledge is called an inference.
7. A rectangular yard is 20 ft by 15 ft. Its perimeter is 70 feet.
8. The process plants use to make food from sunlight is called photosynthesis.
9. A farmer has 27 seed packets and uses 13 of them. That is 9 packets.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.
stem
→ part that carries water up the plant
part that absorbs water from the soil
leaf
→ part that catches sunlight for food
part where pollination takes place
root
→ part that absorbs water from the soil
part that carries water up the plant
flower
→ part where pollination takes place
part that catches sunlight for food
