kingdom do I belong to?
Some strange new plants have been discovered on a tropical island. Here is
the not very scientific report on them.
Plant A doesn’t have leaves but green spikes grow on its branches.
Plant B is found growing on rocks near a stream. It looks like green slime.
Plant C has long green leaves which, when you rub their underside, brown
powder comes off.
Plant D is found growing on damp ground in large clumps. It is furry to
touch and doesn’t have any roots.
Plant E has pink fruit which are very tasty to eat.
Plant F looks like green dots and is found growing in a pond.
Plant G is very attractive to bees.
Classify the plants into the groups algae, mosses, ferns, conifers and
flowering plants. (There may be more than one in a group)
A is a conifer
E is a flowering plant
B is algae
F is algae
C is a fern
G is a flowering plant
