A flower cut in half to show its ten parts: the petal, the sepal, the anther and the filament of a stamen, the stigma, the style and the ovary of the pistil, the ovules inside it, the receptacle and the stem. Print it labelled, with what each part is, or with empty boxes, a word bank and four questions, and the labelled sheet after it as the answer key.

Labelled, with what each part is names the ten parts on the picture, each joined to its part by a line, and puts a sentence on each under it. To label leaves a numbered, empty box for each part, puts the names in a word bank and, on Letter and A4 in portrait, asks four questions that the answer key answers; the last, which part grows into the fruit, leads on to the apple tree and pumpkin life cycles. In Colour the petals print pink, the stem and sepals green and the anthers and stigma yellow; Ink saver prints the flower as outlines, to colour in.
Stamen and pistil
The stamen and the pistil are not single parts but groups of them, so the sheet names their parts and says under the picture which make up which. A stamen is an anther, where pollen is made, on a stalk called the filament; the flower here is cut in half, so two of its stamens show. The pistil, in the middle, is the stigma at the top, the style under it and the ovary at the bottom, with the ovules inside. When pollen lands on the stigma, that is pollination; once an egg cell in an ovule is fertilized, the ovule grows into a seed and the ovary into the fruit. This follows NC State Extension’s Gardener Handbook, chapter 3.
Is a strawberry a berry?
Not in the way a botanist means it. The red part of a strawberry is not the fruit that grew from the ovary but the receptacle, grown large and soft and red, and each of the little seeds on the outside is a tiny fruit of its own. It makes a good question once a class knows what a receptacle is. NC State Extension’s Gardener Handbook gives this example in its chapter on botany.
A flowering plant to label and colour: the flower, a leaf, the stem and the roots, and a fruit cut open to show its seeds. Print it labelled, with what each part does, or with empty boxes and a word bank, and the labelled sheet after it as the answer key.
An adult insect seen from above, with its eight parts to learn: the head, an antenna, a compound eye, the thorax and the abdomen, a leg, a wing and the spiracles it breathes through. Print it labelled, with what each part is, or with empty boxes, a word bank and three questions, and the labelled sheet after it as the answer key.
An animal cell and a plant cell, each cut open to show ten parts. Both have a cell membrane, cytoplasm, a nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus and a vacuole; the animal cell also shows the nucleolus and a lysosome, the plant cell its cell wall and chloroplasts. Print either one labelled, with what each part is; to label, with empty boxes, a word bank and three questions; or with the names to cut out and glue in. The labelled sheet follows as the answer key.
Two food chains, each read from the bottom up. In a meadow: the Sun, grass, a grasshopper, a frog, a snake and a hawk, with the mushrooms that break down whatever dies. In a kelp forest: the Sun, kelp, sea urchins and sea otters, with bacteria. Print either one labelled; to label, with a word bank and three questions; or to cut and glue in order. The labelled sheet follows as the answer key.
NOAA’s food web for the Gulf of Maine: plankton, krill, scallops, herring, mackerel, dogfish, cod, tuna and seals, each arrow from a food to the animal that eats it. Print it labelled, with five questions, or with the arrows left out to draw from the clues. The labelled sheet is the answer key. Or draw your own web, from a place you know.
What a plant needs to grow, three ways: twelve pictures to circle the things a plant needs, with the key; the seven needs round a seedling in its pot, labelled or to label; and a two-week test of whether a plant needs light.
The four stages of a monarch butterfly drawn in a cycle, egg, caterpillar, chrysalis and butterfly, with an arrow from each to the next and what happens at each stage. Print it labelled, to label with a word bank, or with the four pictures to cut out and glue in order; the answer key follows.
The four stages of a northern leopard frog drawn in a cycle, egg, tadpole, froglet and frog, with an arrow from each to the next and what happens at each stage. Print it labelled, to label with a word bank, or with the four pictures to cut out and glue in order; the answer key follows.
The life cycle of a flowering plant, a bean, drawn in four stages, seed, sprout, seedling and adult plant with its flowers and pods, with an arrow from each to the next and back to the seed. Print it labelled, with what happens at each stage, to label with a word bank, or to cut and glue in order; the answer key follows.
The four stages of a chicken drawn in a cycle, egg, embryo, chick and hen, with an arrow from each to the next and what happens at each stage, the days counted from the egg. Print it labelled, to label with a word bank, or with the four pictures to cut out and glue in order; the answer key follows.
The four stages of a ladybug drawn in a cycle, eggs, larva, pupa and adult, with an arrow from each to the next and what happens at each stage. Print it labelled, to label with a word bank, or with the four pictures to cut out and glue in order; the answer key follows.
The four stages of a pumpkin drawn in a cycle, seed, sprout, flower and pumpkin, with an arrow from each to the next and back to the seed. Print it labelled, with what happens at each stage, to label with a word bank, or with the four pictures to cut out and glue in order; the answer key follows.
