​How Do Seeds Sprout?

​Have You Ever Wondered...

• How do seeds sprout?

• What is germination?

• What three things do plants need to survive?

?

​barren: unable to produce plants or fruit

​All the plants around you start life as a seed. Without seeds, there would be no plants and Earth would be a barren place that would not support the many forms of life that surround us every day.

​​​Today you will be learning how seeds grow and develop into plants with the help of:

• ​ soil

• ​water

  ​ sunshine​

​?

sprout: any new growth of a plant such as a new branch or a bud

​Seeds are usually fairly small. Some are even tiny. Despite their small size, though, seeds contain food and all the instructions necessary to sprout to life as a plant.

​?

​emerge: to come out into viw.

​germination: the process of a seed starting to grow, or the act of causing a seed to start growing

​When seeds are planted, they first grow roots. Once these roots take hold, a small plant will begin to emerge and eventually break through the soil. When this happens, we say that the seed has sprouted. The scientific name for this process is germination.

​?

​nutrients: any substance that plants or animals need in order to live and grow

​As the plant grows and begins to make its own food from nutrients it takes from the soil, it will grow into a larger plant. The seed itself is like a survival package. It contains the food the seed needs while it is growing roots and forming into a small plant.

​Like all living things, plants need water. Once a seed sends out roots, these roots will deliver water from the soil to the plant. As the plant grows and needs more water, roots will grow longer and stretch farther to find the necessary water in the soil.

​?

​dormant: Something that is dormant is not active or growing but has the ability to be active at a later time

​When you get dry seeds at a gardening store, the seeds are dormant, which means they're inactive. All it usually takes to wake them up, though, is just to add water. Whether you plant them in moist soil or simply wrap them in a moist paper towel, they will begin to come to life.

All seeds have life in them, and they need energy and food to form a plant.
