Flowers bloom from buds on stems,They are as pretty as precious gems.

Leaves grow in all shapes and sizes,Watch

Then come stems, some tall, some stout,And

The Life Cycle of a Plant:

SPRING: In the spring the temperatures will begin to rise. The warm weather will help the frozen ground to soften. Once the ground is ready, the cycle can begin again.

SOIL: All plants need soil to grow. Soil is

important because it provides nutrients the plants need. To start they plant’s growth process, a seed is planted in the soil.

SEEDS: Seeds are small and

round, and have food and nutrients inside their hard

covering. To grow a plant, a seed

must be planted into the soil.

WATER: A plant either needs rain fall or to be watered very often to grow. Water provides the seeds with many nutrients and helps break down the soil’s nutrients.

SUN: Without sunlight, the plant cannot perform photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is when a plant takes nutrients from the soil and makes it into energy. The plant uses this energy to grow.

When the seeds are planted into the soil, they absorb water and sunlight. The

plant will then SPROUT and

continue to grow.
