The document is about the anatomy and life cycle of seeds. It discusses the main parts of seeds, including the seed coat, cotyledon, radicle, epicotyl, and hypocotyl. It also explains the process of germination where the seed absorbs water and the embryonic root emerges. Additionally, it covers the three main plant organs - roots, stems, and leaves - and how seeds connect to the central idea that systems have interacting structures and processes to sustain life. The document concludes by reinforcing the reader's new knowledge about seeds.

3. Parts of a seed
The parts of a seed are:
★ Seed Coat
★ Cotyledon
★ Radicle
★ Epicotyl
★ Hypocotyl
4. The process of germination
The seed starts with the
seed coat on the exterior
of the seed. As the seed
progresses, more and
more of the seed are
Shown and some parts
even fall off.
5. Organs of the Plant
The three main organs of any seed plant are:
★ The roots
★ The leaves
★ The stem
6. How the Seed Connects to Our Central Idea
The seed connects to our Central Idea because seeds have structures
and processes too. A few processes are:
★ Germination
★ Photosynthesis
Central
★ Transpiration
Idea!
Some structures are:
★ Seed Coat, Cotyledon, Hypocotyl, Epicotyl,
★ Roots, stem, leaves
Central Idea: Systems have structures and processes that interact to
sustain life.
7. Fun Facts
★ Plants don’t germinate in an exact time period, it
depends on the size and shape of the plant and/or
seed
★ Every tiny seed you plant becomes it’s own plant
★ All seed plants have two things in common, produce vascular tissue and
seeds
★ Scientists have found that there are over 25, 000 seeds in the world
★ Seeds can be many different ways
★ Seeds come in very different colors, shapes, and sizes
★ Seeds are the first step in the plant growth process, germination
8. Conclusion
In conclusion, I gained a lot of knowledge from this topic.
The seed is a very fascinating organism. I learned all
about the parts, the systems, and the structures. I hope
you learned a lot from my project.
