This resource was a great compliment to our science unit on life cycles. Since we have a garden at my school with a lot of sunflowers, I took my students to the garden, and they had the opportunity to make real observations and use the different activities to write their observations. Thank you for creating such a fun and useful resource!

I used these worksheets with my students who are learning about the life cycle! They struggle with the concepts in science class, so I try to help reinforce the skills they need in the speech room. Thanks for this!
