Studying Seeds

In science right now we are studying seeds. We started by learning about the parts of a seed. To see these parts for ourselves we dissected lima beans. We learned that seeds have seed coats, embryos, and food. Last week we learned about how seed travel. We learned that there are many ways seeds move to new places including by wind, water, and animal. We looked at examples of different seeds from outside and thought about how they traveled. Then students made their own helicopter seeds.
