This second grade botany lab focused on seeds. We each chose two bean seeds to plant in a greenhouse made from two cups. The temperature will stay warm inside the cup and the water will move through the water cycle and keep our seeds watered. How do seeds grow? Click here for more information.

During our final activity, we dissected Lima bean seeds. I soaked them in water several hours prior to lab, so they could easily be pulled apart. Click here to watch a video about the parts of a seed.
