1. Science- Plants
Seeds

2. What are seeds? Seeds are tiny, young plants
All seeds have small leaves, roots and stems inside them
They also have built in food supply to help them start off growing
Different seeds can look very different to survive in different environments

3. Inside a seed All seeds have 3 main parts
Seed coat: the tough outer layer of the seed
Embryo: The tiny plant inside the seed
Food Store: The food to help the plant grow
Food
Store

4. 2 types of seeds Monocot seeds Mono = 1
Monocot seeds only have 1 leaf attached to the embryo
The food around the seed is called endosperm
This kind of seed does not split into 2 when the seed opens

6. 2 types of seeds Dicot seeds
These types of seeds have 2 leaves attached to the embryo
This type of seed DOES split into 2 when it opens

11. How do seeds get around?
Seeds have to be moved to a place away from the original plant
When a plant starts to grow from a seed it is called a seedling
Seedlings cannot compete form water and sunlight
Moving the seed around is called SEED DISPERSAL

12. Seed dispersal
Seed dispersal can happen in a whole bunch of different ways
Wind
Water
Animals (on fur)
Animal (eaten)
Human activity
