This word sort activity explores how plants survive through different features and adaptations. Students categorize 12 plant characteristics into two groups: methods for obtaining nutrients and protective features. The activity covers key concepts like photosynthesis, root systems, and defensive structures such as thorns and waxy coatings. This hands-on classification exercise helps students understand plant survival strategies while building scientific vocabulary. Aligned with NGSS standards, it develops students' understanding of structure and function in plants through an engaging sorting task that emphasizes critical thinking and pattern recognition.
