The children continued their study of plant growth by exploring seed parts today. What helps a seed to survive was the question pondered today. The students were introduced to the seed parts by comparing one to a hiker and what it needs for survival while hiking a mountain. INQUIRE with your child the similarities between these two things. The class then dissected a lima bean seed to explore each part and explore the functions of seed coats, empryo, and the cotyledon. We used our knowledge of nonfiction diagrams and labels to recreate the seed in our science journals.
