Did you know plants make their own food? Discover how with this fill-in-the-blank worksheet for third and fourth graders! First, learners will study a diagram that illustrates the process of photosynthesis: plants take in water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight, and convert them into sugar and oxygen. Students are then asked to complete sentences about photosynthesis using the terminology from the diagram.

Designed for third and fourth graders, this worksheet provides a helpful overview of photosynthesis. Budding scientists can continue to build on their knowledge of life science and discover more about the different processes of living things. Students will also learn another way in which plants interact with and benefit their environments.
