Plants Crossword Puzzle

Learners read fourteen across-and-down clues and enter plant vocabulary into an intersecting grid. The clue set draws on several related ideas, including plant parts, resources needed for growth, and reproductive processes, so completing one entry can provide letters that support another. A second plant-puzzle page is present in the supplied file. Both pages are described conservatively as puzzle material because the deterministic scan assigns no completed-response pages.
