Seeds & Plant Growth
Observe and describe how seeds and bulbs grow into mature plants through stages of germination and growth
Lesson
Set out your lesson
“Seeds & Plant Growth means observing seed/bulb stages from germination to a mature plant. We will practise once together, then check a fresh example.”
Bring to the table
- Dry bean/seed and sprouting picture or jar
- Stage cards: seed/bulb, germinate, grow, mature plant
Extra for the adult
Worked example. Seeds and bulbs germinate, then grow into mature plants. We can observe the stages.
Optional challenge. For Seeds & Plant Growth, use the word germinate.
What to notice. Keep one parent note: stages ordered; observation; support used. This session samples plant growth, not mastery of botany.

Check understanding
- Describe the stages: seed absorbs water → root appears → shoot pushes up → leaves open
- Compare how a bulb and a seed start growing differently
- Record observations of a growing plant over several days using drawings or a simple diary
“Has your child planted a seed or bulb and been able to describe what happened as it grew — first a root, then a shoot, then leaves?”
