This week for STEAM we learned about the inside of a seed. There are 3 main parts of a seed: the seed coat protects the insides of the seed and uses a special chemical to inform where to start sprouting. The embryo carries the baby plant for when it is ready germinate. The endosperm storages food for the embryo to eat as it cannot make itself food from sunlight yet. We got to cut up a seed and see the insides of the seed. We had to draw and label each part.
Do you remember the plant I planted? My cucumber sprouted! First plant was 5.5cm and the second plant was 5cm.
We have planted a seed and observing it as it grows. Please see my slide to checkout my plants life MY PLANT PROGRESS
