Tuesday: Inside a bean

Rocket wants to crack a dry bean open fast.

It is too hard!

Raven asks, "What do you notice about the soaked beans?"

Nova says, "Water can help."

Water gets in

A dry seed has very little water.

Your soaked beans took in water all night.

Now they are soft and easy to open.

Taking in water gets a seed ready to grow.

Three parts of a seed

The seed coat is the outside skin.

It keeps the seed safe.

Inside are two big halves of seed food.

Tucked between them is the tiny plant.

  1. Take one soaked bean from the cup.
  2. Peel off the thin seed coat with your fingers.
  3. Gently open the bean into two halves.
  4. Look for the tiny plant at one edge.
Safety first
Use only your fingers. No knives.
Never eat the beans.
Wash your hands when you are done.
