Help your students discover the amazing ways plants interact with their surroundings with this engaging How Plants Sense and Respond to Their Environment worksheet! Designed for grades 4–8, this resource explores how plants sense light, water, gravity, and touch and how they adjust to survive and grow. Students will connect biology, ecology, and environmental science in one thought-provoking lesson. This versatile worksheet is perfect for individual assignments, group discussions, homeschooling, or extra practice encouraging curiosity about the hidden “intelligence” of plants.
