6th - 6th Grade

Science

Flowers - Anatomy and Function is a free printable Grade 6 science worksheet that develops students’ understanding of flower anatomy and plant-part functions. Across 20 items—19 multiple-choice questions and one multiple-select question—students identify structures such as the stigma, anther, filament, petal, sepal, and ovule-related seed-forming part, then connect each structure to its role in pollination and reproduction. The worksheet also asks students to distinguish flowers by their reproductive parts and identify how roots, stems, and leaves support the plant. Lettered diagrams, named-answer choices, and function-based questions give students repeated practice moving between visual identification, vocabulary, and biological function. It is suitable for Grade 6 science review, independent practice, or a formative check, and includes a complete answer key for efficient checking.

FAQs

What does the Flowers - Anatomy and Function worksheet cover?

This Grade 6 science worksheet uses 20 questions—19 multiple choice and one multiple select—to have students identify flower structures and match them with their functions. Students work with lettered diagrams and terms such as stigma, anther, filament, petal, and sepal, while also identifying the functions of roots, stems, and leaves. Completing these items builds accuracy in connecting plant anatomy with pollination, reproduction, and basic plant processes.

How can I use this worksheet to teach flower anatomy and function?

Introduce a flower diagram before assigning the worksheet, asking students to locate each structure and predict its function. Then use the lettered identification questions to reinforce vocabulary before moving to the function-based items on pollination, pollen production, seed formation, and plant support. Review the male-only flower question and the one multiple-select item as discussion prompts, asking students to justify why each selected structure fits the description.

What mistakes should I watch for when students complete this flower anatomy worksheet?

Students may confuse the stigma, style, sepal, and stamen when selecting a structure from the lettered diagram or from the named choices. They may also mix up the anther, which produces pollen, with the filament, which holds the anther up, or confuse petals with pistils when identifying the part that attracts pollinators. In the plant-function questions, check that students distinguish roots, stems, and leaves rather than choosing a plant part based only on its appearance.

How do I assign and grade this Flowers - Anatomy and Function worksheet?

You can assign this worksheet as a printable PDF or as a digital quiz on Wayground. It includes a complete answer key for the 20 flower-anatomy and plant-function questions, and printable submissions can be graded by scanning student work with the Wayground for Teachers app. The printable format also offers an option for schools working to reduce screen time.

How can I differentiate this flower anatomy worksheet for my students?

Use the worksheet’s Advanced Settings to adjust font spacing and font size so the lettered diagrams, plant-part terms, and multiple-choice options are easier to follow. You can also enable a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language when appropriate. These file-level options can make the flower-structure and function questions more accessible without changing what students are asked to identify.
