Science Project “Seeds and Plants”
Collect at least six (4-6) different types of seeds and use these seeds to make a plant showing the four main parts (the flower, stem, leaves and roots). Think of a creative way to display the plant. The plant parts should be labeled.
During the presentation, students are required to tell the types of seeds used to make the different parts and tell the function of each part.
Example: (I used pumpkin seeds to make my flower. The function of the flower is to make seeds and fruits.) I used pepper seeds to make the roots, one function of the roots is to hold the plant into the ground.)
- Students will be graded on Content, Creativity, Neatness and Presentation.
