A flowering plant grows up, makes flowers, and its flowers make new seeds — round and round!

✦ Science📘 Stage 3 · S3⏱ ~10 min🧒 Ages 7–8★ Free to start

describe the life cycle of a flowering plant from seed to seed.

📖

Kavi Follows the Whole Circle

Kavi holds one tiny apple seed 🌰. "This little seed can grow into a whole plant," hoots Kavi. It sprouts into a seedling 🌱, grows into a tall adult plant 🌿, opens a flower 🌸, and a busy bee 🐝 carries pollen from flower to flower. Soon the flower becomes a juicy fruit 🍎 — full of new seeds! "The new seeds can grow all over again. The life cycle goes from seed to seed!"

A peek inside

Kavi plants a seed 🌰. What is the very next stage after the seed germinates?

When a seed germinates it begins to grow, and the first stage is a young seedling.
