If you plant a seed in the ground will it grow? If
the seed has enough water, the right temperature, and has good soil, it
will germinate. Germinate means to begin to
grow. Roots grow down, leaves grow up and the plant gets bigger and
bigger until it makes flowers.
Flowers help the plant reproduce. Reproduce
means make more of its kind. How do plants reproduce? Part of
the flower makes pollen. When the wind blows, or a bee or butterfly
land on the flower, pollen is carried to another part of the flower.
When this happens, it is fertilized. Fertilized means
it will now grow until it becomes a seed.
If you plant the new seed in the ground and it has the right
conditions it will grow. The new seed germinates. A new plant
will grow. It will make new seeds. The plant's life cycle
goes on and on.
