Exploring Plants Worksheet
Clues from the coast
Plants are living things. Most plants use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide from the air to make sugars in their leaves. This process is called photosynthesis. Roots help anchor a plant and take in water and minerals. Stems support the plant and carry water and sugars. Leaves capture light and exchange gases. Flowers can form seeds, which may grow into new plants. Plant needs differ: for example, a coastal plant may cope with salty wind, while another plant may need shelter. Plants also provide food and shelter for animals and help hold soil in place.

Plants in a living place
At low tide, the rocky shore is exposed, but it is still a living habitat. Coastal plants grow around the shore’s edges, where conditions can be windy and salty. Their leaves and branches may offer shelter, and their roots can help hold soil. Looking carefully without picking or trampling helps protect living things.
- Pick a leaf to take home
- Step on nearby plants to get closer
- Observe it from a safe spot and leave it growing
- Pull it up to inspect its roots
