Life Cycle of a Plant How living things grow, live, and die 2nd grade Science A plant’s life cycle starts with a seed. •Inside the seed is a tiny new plant. •The outside of the seed has a special covering called a seed coat. •When the seed gets the right amount of water, warmth, and air, it can begin to grow. •If conditions remain just right, after a time the little seed will sprout. •The sprout will grow to look like the plant it came from As the sprout continues to develop, it will grow roots, a stem, leaves, and flowers which will form more seeds At this stage, the life cycle of the plant begins again. It Starts With a Seed. •From a seed, a small root grows down into the soil. •Then, the stem grows up toward the surface of the soil. •Soon, the stem breaks through the soil. When this happens, it is called a sprout. The Cycle Continues •Later, leaves begin to form on the plant stem. •Now it is called a seedling and can make its own food. •Finally, the seedling develops into a plant which will look like the plant it came from.

Using the vocabulary worksheet, help your partner learn the names of plant parts by giving clues. For example, “I take in water and minerals from the soil. What am I ?” Give your partner one clue for each vocabulary word. Once you have completed the list with your partner, switch. Identification Draw and label the following parts of a plant. •Leaves •Roots •Flower •Fruit •Seeds •Stem The Life Cycle of a Plant Explain the life cycle of a plant and relate the importance of the proper amount of sunlight to the growth and development of a plant.
