Age 6 · Science
Open to everyone until Wednesday, November 18
To keep it, print it while it is open.
A seed drinks water, gets fat, and a little root pops out first. Then a shoot grows up, opens two round seed leaves, and later grows real green leaves.
Examples
- A bean on wet cotton in a jar grows a root in a few days.
- Grass seeds sown in a garden turn into little green shoots.
Key takeaways
- The root always comes out first and grows down.
- The first two round leaves are seed leaves; real leaves come after.
