ALL ABOUT PLANT GROWTH

Plant Basics:

3 things plants need to grow: water, air, and light

3 things a seed needs to grow: water, nutrients, correct temperature

3 parts of a seed: seed coat, embryo, cotyledon

The flower is the part of the plant that makes seeds

Life Cycle of a plant: seeds, roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits

Pollination determines the number of seed a plant makes

Water helps plants grow but overwatering them can cause the plants to not receive enough oxygen and kill them.

Bees and other insects pollinate plants

Plant embryos are found in the seeds
