Which Plant Can Live in This Habitat? Coral Reef

Dive into a coral reef habitat with this second- and third-grade worksheet! First, students will write a brief description of a coral reef. Then, learners are asked to consider the needs of seagrass, a pine tree, and seaweed. Students will decide whether each plant could survive in a coral reef, then explain their thinking.

This worksheet will prompt learners to think about how living things have unique needs—even plants! Some plants require more sun or more water than others, and not every habitat is able to meet those needs. Students will also practice explaining their thinking and presenting evidence, which will build their scientific research skills.
