Grade 2 Science Quiz: What Do Plants Need to Survive?

🌱 Quick Study Guide

• ☀️ Sunlight: Plants use sunlight to make their own food through a process called photosynthesis. Think of it as a plant's energy source!
• 💧 Water: Water helps carry nutrients from the soil to all parts of the plant. It also keeps the plant strong and healthy.
• 🌍 Soil: Soil provides plants with essential nutrients and a place to anchor their roots. Different soils have different amounts of nutrients.
• 💨 Air: Plants need air, specifically carbon dioxide, to make their food during photosynthesis. They also release oxygen into the air, which we breathe!
• 🌡️ Warmth: Most plants grow best in warm temperatures. Too cold or too hot, and they might not survive.
