Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Classify plants as aquatic or terrestrial based on their name and typical habitat.
Teaching tips
Discuss what makes a plant "aquatic" versus "terrestrial" before assigning the sheet, since no definitions are printed on the page.
Introduce or review the less familiar species (Amazon Frogbit, cattail) beforehand so the task tests habitat knowledge rather than plant recognition alone.
Pair with images or a short video of each plant in its natural habitat to support students who may not be able to classify from the name alone.
Skills covered
Habitat classification — students sort nine named plants into aquatic or terrestrial categories.
