What’s in a seed? – Activity 2
Resource
This wow activity involves children observing and dissecting seeds to find out what is inside. Pupils will compare two seemingly identical seeds before dissecting one that has been socked in water prior to the lesson. This activity is a natural follow-on from Activity 1 with cross-curricular links can be made with Literacy and Art. As an extension, pupils can make the transition from observing with hand lenses to a microscope.
Detailed teaching notes are provided on the seed and its germination.
