Content Area: Life cycle of a plant
Grade Level: 2nd Grade
Summary: The purpose of this instructional
power point is to teach the students the life
cycle of a plant.
Learning Objective: Simple description of how
plants go from a seed into a plant.
Content Standard: Life cycles of living things.
Accomplishment: The students will be able to
fully describe as well as illustrate the life cycle of
a plant.
A plants 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.
Seed Life Cycle.
Seed Life cycle
Seedling
Needs to have warmth, air, and right
amount of water to grow.
If the conditions remain just right,
after a time the little seed will
sprout.
The sprout will grow to look like
the plant it came from.

What am I?
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.

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.
Recap of what we
learned:

All plants and trees start out as seeds, with the
proper amount of water, warmth, and air the
seedling will grow into the plant it came from.
