Watch a Seed Sprout! | Squeaks Grows a Garden! | SciShow Kids

The video tutorial explains how seeds grow into plants, starting with a seed calendar to determine planting times. It explores the parts of a seed: the seed coat, embryo, and endosperm, and their roles in plant growth. The process of germination is detailed, showing how a seed sprouts into a plant. Finally, it provides a simple home experiment to observe germination using beans, a plastic bag, and a damp paper towel.
