What this worksheet teaches

• Describe what plants need to grow: water, sunlight, air and soil.
• Recognise that baby animals often look different from their parents and match a few common pairs.
• Group animals by an obvious feature such as feathers, fur, scales or number of legs.
• Name the main parts of a plant - roots, stem, leaf, flower - and say what each part does for the plant.

How to use this worksheet

Grade 1 students learn plant and animal facts fastest when they can point at a real example, so do this worksheet near a window, a houseplant or a garden if you can. When a question asks about roots, tip a small potted plant sideways so the soil and roots are visible - the part hidden underground is the one children forget most often.

Sample questions from this worksheet

1. Which part holds the plant upright?
2. Which part of a plant is usually colorful?

Frequently asked questions

Is any of this tested at Grade 1?

Most Grade 1 curricula assess exactly these basics: living versus non-living, plant parts, and where animals live. The worksheet stays inside that scope rather than adding harder classification.

My child thinks anything that moves is alive. Is that normal?

Very normal at Grade 1. Cars, fans and clouds all move, so movement feels like the rule. Point out that living things grow, need food or water, and make young ones - a toy car does none of those.

Does my child need to know animal names in English before starting?

The pictures and the common animal names in this worksheet are chosen to be familiar ones - cat, cow, fish, bird. If a name is new, say it aloud once and let your child repeat it; the worksheet then doubles as vocabulary practice.
