Objective

Discuss plant germination, growth, and
development
Seeds



Are _______ to the survival
of many plant species
The ___ ____of a plant
species begins with the seed
The seed contains an
embryonic plant composed of
_____(baby root),
________(seed leaf), true
leaf, & seed coat.
Seed Parts
5 Necessary Conditions
for seeds:

____________

Germination medium

Moisture

Optimum ____________

________
Germination(process causing seed to sprout and grow)
Steps to germination:
1. The seed absorbs ______ and _______
2. The seed coat ________ permitting the
young root (radicle) to emerge and _____
downward to anchor the plant
3. The above soil surface portion of the
plant emerges
4. New _____ form and photosynthesis
begins
Photosynthesis



The process by which the plant
__________ food
“photo”- light “synthesis”- putting together
Chemical Terms- process whereby certain
living plants ______ carbon dioxide (CO2) &
water(H2O) in the presence of ____,
chlorophyll, and enzymes to form
carbohydrates, mostly glucose(C6H12O6, a
simple sugar)

____________
 A plant uses food produced during
photosynthesis to form energy
○ which is stored and released

___________
 Release of water vapor through plant
leaves
Plant People
1 knee high
 1-2 tablespoons seed
 About 1 cup of soil
 2 eyes
 Decorations
 Hot glue (be very careful)

Plant people continued…




1st pour seed into hose
pour soil into hose, enough to make the size of a
baseball
tie hose in a knot so the soil and seeds are
compacted and not loose
Hot glue eyes on
 Nose and mouth if wanted
 After dry submerge the head in water until completely
saturated
Plant people continued…

Set aside the head

Decorate cup (body) as desired

Fill cup ½ full w/ water


Stick hose down into cup to absorb water w/ head
resting on top
Now you have your very own Plant Person!!!
Check water daily & watch it’s hair grow
