Growing a Plant
Growing a plant is both an interesting and easy hobby.
What causes a seed to grow into a large, green table plant? Young learners will find out how plants grow from seeds just by getting sunlight, water and kindness. Children will discover every stage of a plant's life cycle with the help of fun experiments, songs and activities.
๐ What Helps a Plant Grow?
Sunlight helps plants make food!
Water travels from roots to leaves.
Plants breathe through their leaves.
Soil gives nutrients to the roots.
What Knowledge Will Students Gain?
A healthy plant forms when seeds receive sunlight, water, soil and air.

There are four steps in a plant's life cycle: seed, sprout, seedling and full-grown plant.
Care for your Plant: Try to water carefully, leave it in sunlight and watch it get bigger over many days!
