The Life Cycle of Plants
Gina Farris 2nd grade BC Central
Essential Question:
How does a plant grow from a seed?
SCS: Goal 1, 1.1
Plants go through many changes as they grow.
A plant begins as a seed. Inside the seed is a tiny new plant.
Seeds are scattered by
Planting
Wind,
Water,
And animals.
Plants need water to grow,
Light to make food,
Nutrients found in soil
And the right temperature to grow.
When the seed gets the water, nutrients and light it needs, it begins to grow.
A sprout will form that looks like the plant it came from. A seed from a watermelon will grow into a watermelon plant.
As the sprout forms,
It will grow roots, a stem , leaves and flowers.
The flowers will form more seeds.
