Nature Word Analogies

In this worksheet, students solve nature-themed word analogies by determining how each pair of terms is related and then completing the second pair. Items such as flower : petal :: tree : ______ guide learners to think about part-whole relationships, habitats, and life cycles in the natural world. Students write the missing word that preserves the same relationship, reinforcing both vocabulary knowledge and content about plants and animals. The analogies prompt them to recall science concepts like roots, shells, webs, and nests while practicing language skills. By combining science content with analogy practice, this worksheet supports cross-curricular learning. It also encourages precise thinking as students evaluate multiple possible answers and choose the one that fits best.
