Seeds
-Plants have many
parts.
-The seed is put
into the ground
-water is added
-roots start
sprouting.

Plants And Its Parts
After the roots take up enough
nutrients, or food, a stem begins to
grow. The stem connects the
different parts of the plant and
sprouts leaves. With enough sunlight
and water, a flower pops out of the
stem.
What Do Plants Need to Grow?
Water
Sunlight
Soil
Nutrients
Different kind of Seeds
Plant seeds come in all sorts of
sizes: large like a basketball or
small like a marble. An apples
seeds are tiny, but the
avocados seed is huge.
Different fruits, like
strawberries, carry their seeds
on the outside.
Movement of Seeds
Seeds need to be
scattered- spread around
the ground.
Wind is one way seeds
travel.
ex. A dandelions seeds are
picked up and blown away.


Movement of Seeds
Another way for seeds to
scatter is water.
ex. A coconut
A coconut floats! It is hollow
and only has coconut juice and
a little meat.
Coconuts move across the
ocean to different islands and
grow there.
Movement of Seeds
Seeds can also be
scattered by animals.
They attach their seed to
the animal and get a free
ride. Hummingbirds and
bees pollinate by taking the
pollen from flowers and
spreading it around the
ground.

Living things
On Earth there is more than a million
animals, and they all have habitats, or
homes, which they live in. Each Habitat
has something unique or special about
them. Many animals share certain
habitats and this is called Biodiversity,
when different animals live in the same
place.
