Plant Scavenger Hunt KEY
This activity is more about learning plant vocabulary and traits than searching for items. It also works for all age levels by just adapting the vocabulary. You can develop your own list by touring your schoolyard to see what is available. Below are 10 suggested things that can be adapted for your plant hunt. This version includes the list with the appropriate vocabulary for three age levels: 2-3, 4-6, 7-adult. Make sure to describe the exact area within which they can hunt for the objects. Also, obviously no one can collect a tree, so tell them that if the object is too big (or will hurt the plant to collect it), they can just name or draw it on their answer sheet. Ask them to find the following things:
2-3 (Answer Key) 4-6th Grade 7th Grade to Adult 1. leaf plant part that collects sunlight photosynthetic collection structure
2. flower plant part that attracts insects structure that houses reproductive organs for pollination
3. acorn or any plant seed embryonic plant ready for dispersal other seed
4. root plant part that collects water hydration collection structure
5. moss moss nonvascular, non-seed-bearing, green plant
6. fern fern (or clubmoss) vascular, non-seed-bearing, green plant
7. any green plant plant with green stem and leaves vascular, seed-bearing, herbaceous plant
8. tree plant with trunk and branches vascular, seed-bearing, woody plant
9. grass plant leaf that grows as a lawn sample cultivated leaves used to carpet large areas
10. plant stem part that holds plant upright structure that houses xylem transport system
Bonus:11. rock abiotic mineral object abiotic mineral object
