Seeds in science

In Science we are studying plants with a focus on seeds and bulbs.

Today we were following a line of enquiry.

We were looking for a pattern in our fruit. Do all big fruit have big seeds and do all little fruits have little seeds?  This is one of our Scientific enquiry skills. 'Pattern seeking and surveys'.

We discussed our thoughts in talk partners before cutting the fruit open. We were amazed at the tiny seeds inside a kiwi. It felt hard, so we thought there would be a big stone! Cherries also surprised us as they felt squidgy so we thought they would have little seeds but it actually had a stone!

Here are some pictures of us investigating the seeds in fruit.

We then, of course, tasted our fruit!
