About this resource
Description
Watching a bean grow is one of the best ways for children to see how plants change over time. This life cycle of plants observation worksheet shows 2nd grade students a real bean plant grown in a clear cup, so they can follow it from a seed to a sprout, a seedling, and finally an adult plant with flowers that will make new seeds.
About This Worksheet
Page one is Lydia’s observation journal: four dated picture cards (Day 1, Day 6, Day 14, and Day 40) with short notes about what she saw, including how tall the plant grew in centimeters. On page two, students use a word box to name the stage of the plant on each day, then answer four questions about the notes, such as which part grew first, how tall the plant was, how much it grew, and why these changes are called a life cycle. Use this 2nd grade life cycle worksheet during a plant unit, before or after growing beans in class, or as a science center or homework page.
What’s Included
- A one-page observation journal with four picture cards and notes
- A word box with seed, sprout, seedling, and adult plant
- Four stage-naming items and four reading and measurement questions
- A complete answer key
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids Learn
- Reading a real observation log shows students how scientists record changes over time.
- Naming each stage builds the vocabulary of the plant life cycle.
- Comparing heights in centimeters connects science with measurement and subtraction.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Plant a few bean seeds in clear cups before you hand out the life cycle of plants observation worksheet, and have students keep their own journal next to Lydia’s. Ask them to measure their plants with a ruler and compare their notes to the ones on the page. At home, parents can grow a bean on a sunny windowsill and talk about which stage comes next.
