How a Bean Seed Sprouts

Open to everyone until Tuesday, November 17

To keep it, print it while it is open.

A bean seed drinks water, gets fat, and its skin cracks open. First a little root grows down, then a stem grows up and carries the seed leaves into the light.

Examples

  • Beans placed on wet cotton in a jar sprout in a few days.
  • Lentils or chickpeas soaked in water for a night get bigger and softer.
