About this worksheet
3rd Grade Plant Dormancy Worksheet
Many third graders think a tree with no leaves in January is dead. This plant dormancy worksheet shows that dormancy is a resting state: a plant stops growing to wait out cold or dry weather, then grows again when warm days or rain return. Examples come from the backyard, like a bare winter tree and lawn grass that turns brown in a dry Texas summer.
