Plant Nutrition Questions

This document provides an assessment on plant nutrition for 7th grade combined science students. It contains three sections: (1) a fill-in-the-blank section testing knowledge of key terms related to photosynthesis such as chloroplasts, chlorophyll, carbon dioxide, and leaves; (2) short answer questions about testing leaves for starch and writing the word equation for photosynthesis; (3) a labeling activity identifying internal leaf structures. The assessment evaluates students' understanding of photosynthesis and plant nutrition.
