Exploring the Life Cycle of Plants

The video tutorial introduces third graders to the plant life cycle, covering stages from seed planting to seed dispersal. It explains the needs for seed growth, the germination process, and the development of a mature plant. The role of pollination and seed dispersal in the life cycle is highlighted, with interactive questions to engage students.
