This activity for kindergarten aligns with NGSS K-ESS2-2, helping students explore how plants impact their environment. The 'How Plants Affect Their Environment' word sort activity prompts students to categorize plant behaviors into 'Protecting or Enriching the Soil' and 'Supporting Other Living Things.' By sorting terms like roots breaking rocks, trees creating shade, and plants providing oxygen, students gain a basic understanding of plant-environment interactions. This engaging, hands-on activity builds vocabulary related to nature and environmental science, encouraging children to observe and appreciate the ways plants contribute to ecosystem health.
