Apple Life Cycle
Source: KidsSoup
Talk about what plants need to help them grow. Explain to children that all seeds and plants need sun, water, air, nutrients, and soil in order to grow. After an apple seed is planted, it takes a few weeks before it will sprout. Then the roots grow down into the soil. The stem grows upward and toward the light and leaves begin to develop on the stem. Apple trees do not bear fruit until they are 5–8 years old. Then fragrant white blossoms appear in the spring. The flowers are pollinated by bees and other insects. When the blossoms fall off, small baby apples begin to grow in their place. Only flowers that have been pollinated can grow into apples. By late summer the apples are fully grown and ripe. The apples are handpicked, washed, and stored.
