What this worksheet teaches

• Compare how different animals move, eat and protect themselves.

• Recognise that plants and animals depend on each other, such as bees visiting flowers.
• Explain the job of each plant part, including how roots take in water and leaves make food.

How to use this worksheet

Grade 2 is where children move from naming to explaining, so after each answer ask 'why?' once. If your child writes that roots take in water, ask what would happen without them. The spoken answer usually shows more understanding than the written one and tells you whether to re-read the section.

Sample questions from this worksheet

1. Which animal is the king of the jungle?
2. Which animal can fly?

Frequently asked questions

How much writing does this worksheet need?

Answers are short - a word, a label or a single sentence. It is designed so that limited spelling confidence does not block a child who understands the science.

Do we need to grow a real plant to complete it?

No. Everything can be answered from the worksheet itself, though growing a bean in a jar alongside it makes the life-cycle questions noticeably easier to remember.

What comes after this topic?

Grade 3 usually moves from parts and groups to how living things depend on their surroundings - food chains, adaptation and habitats in more detail. Solid plant parts and animal groups now make that step much smoother.
