What your child will learn: Plants & Their Life Cycle
- The cycle: seed → sprout (seedling) → young plant → flower → new seeds!
- Plants need 4 things: sunlight, water, air, and soil (with nutrients).
- Roots drink water underground. The stem is like a straw carrying it up. Leaves catch sunlight to make food.
- Flowers make seeds, and bees help by carrying pollen from flower to flower.
