Plant Life Cycle Stages

Think and Share

What did you observe during our nature walk? Which life cycle stages did you find? What do plants need from their environment to grow?

Create Your Own Life Cycle Model

Draw and label each stage Cut out pictures to arrange in order Write one sentence about each stage Share your model with a friend

How Plants Depend on Their Environment

Plants need sunlight to make food Water helps plants grow strong Soil provides nutrients Animals help spread seeds and pollen

Remember This Important Idea

Every plant starts as a seed and grows through stages to become a new plant that makes more seeds. This cycle continues forever!
