Parts of a Seed

Students have been studying the parts of a seed, how seeds grow,and how seeds travel. They have been dissecting seeds to find the parts of a seed.  This is an up close photograph of the inside of a bean captured by a mini microscope camera borrowed from Mr. Butler.  We then labeled the parts as a class on the smartboard. 

Here is a photograph from the microscope of one of our Sister Green Beans from our SME 2nd Grade Garden. The seed coat is not in this photograph.
