About this worksheet
A 6-step plant sequence seen above and below the ground: a bean seed in the soil, the first root, a curled sprout pushing up, a seedling with two baby leaves, a tall plant with big leaves and a plant with flowers and bean pods. Kids number the six mixed-up pictures and label them with seed, root, sprout, seedling, plant and beans. The answer key is on page 2. First graders can do it on their own once they know the strategy at the top of the page.
Tips for using it
- Before numbering, ask your child to tell the story out loud using first, next, then and last.
- Lay the cut-out pictures in a row before gluing, so mistakes can still be fixed.
- If a step is tricky, ask what has to happen before it: can you eat the cookies before you bake them?
- For 6-step pages, find the first and the last picture before anything else; the middle is easier then.
