Sorting of Plants (S5L1) — Multi‑Level Review

Drag & drop (or use Move buttons) to sort correctly. Earn points, keep your lives, and beat your best score!

Level 1 — Seed‑Producing vs Non‑Seed (Spore‑Producing)

Sort each plant into the correct group. Tip: Ferns and mosses make spores, not seeds.

🌸 Seed‑Producing

🌿 Non‑Seed (Spore‑Producing)

Level 2 — Flowering vs Non‑Flowering

Angiosperms make flowers. Conifers, ferns, and mosses are non‑flowering.

🌺 Flowering

🌲 Non‑Flowering

Seed-Producing vs. Non-Seed-Producing Plants

Georgia Standards of Excellence: S5L1.b — Classify plants as seed producers or non-seed producers.

Quick Reading

Seed Producers make seeds that can grow into new plants. Flowering plants (angiosperms) form seeds inside fruits, and cone-bearing plants (gymnosperms) form seeds on the scales of cones.

Non-Seed Producers like ferns and mosses reproduce with spores. Spores are tiny cells that can grow into new plants when conditions are right—no flowers or cones needed.

Key idea: If it has flowers/fruits or cones → it’s a seed producer. If it has fronds or mossy mats and makes spores → it’s a non-seed producer.
