About this resource
Five basic parts of a leaf — the petiole, veins, midrib, apex, and margin — are shown labeled on a simple leaf diagram that repeats, with the same five labels, across the working pages of this short file. The resource closes with a thank-you note and credit page crediting creator Jennifer Connett of The Connett Connection. As a very short file, it functions as a simple science vocabulary reference or labeling activity for an early-elementary plant unit rather than a multi-part lesson. For a St. Patrick's Day-themed take on the same simple diagram-and-label format, parts of a clover labels the flower, leaves, stem, and roots of a clover plant instead.

Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
Are the repeated leaf diagrams identical copies, or do they serve different purposes, such as a labeled reference plus blank practice pages?
Each of the working pages carries the same five labels — petiole, veins, midrib, apex, and margin — on the leaf diagram, repeated identically from page to page.
