Identify the parts of a plant

A Year 1 science worksheet on identifying the parts of a plant, created by a primary school teacher to support learning at home.

What do children learn about plants in Year 1?

In Year 1, children in England learn about plants as part of the Science curriculum. 

The focus is on helping children develop a basic understanding of the natural world, including the characteristics and growth of plants. 

Here’s an overview of what they typically learn:

• Identifying and naming common plants

Children learn to identify and name a variety of common plants.

• Basic plant structure

Children are introduced to the basic parts of plants and trees.

• Plant growth and needs

Children learn about what plants need to grow and stay healthy. 

• Observing seasonal changes

Children observe how plants change through the seasons. 

How will this Year 1 science worksheet help your child learn about plants?

This teacher-made resource was developed to help your child practise what they have learned at school by testing their knowledge about the parts of plants. They will need to read the various descriptions and figure out which part of the plant they belong to.
