Explain the stages of plant growth to children

There are many things that, as soon as a child sees it, he begins to inquire about it and how it occurs, including the subject of the stages of plant growth, which is what teachers in school or kindergarten strive to explain to children, in an easy and simplified way that suits their mental development, and enriches their cognitive and linguistic building, which is what We will talk about it in this article, but before that we will give the prelude that must be taken into account before explaining, in addition to mentioning the steps for planting the plant.

Boot

Children are taught that in order for plants to grow, a number of conditions must be met in order for agriculture to succeed and grow, namely:

Fertile soil suitable for cultivation.
Seeds of the plant to be planted, or “succulents” from it, and the meaning of the succulent is clarified as part of one of the branches of the plant that contains at least four buds, and it is noted that there are other methods for growing plants such as offshoots, but the age stage that the lesson is explained to is taken into consideration.
Watering with an adequate amount of water, at certain times of the day; In order to get the most benefit from it and prevent it from evaporating, such as early morning and when the sun is absent, modern plant watering methods such as drip irrigation and its many benefits in the agricultural process can also be mentioned.
Exposing the plant to sunlight so that the plant can make green chlorophyll that requires sunlight for the process to take place.

Explanation of plant cultivation steps

Determine the plant to be planted, and then bring its seeds from nurseries “places for selling flowers and seeds of plants and trees.”
Preparing the soil in which the plant is to be planted, by cleaning it of stones, rubbish, or the like, using the earth comb.
Dig a hole and put the seed in it, and if there are a number of seeds, the number of holes will be according to the number of seeds.
Cover the seeds with an appropriate amount of dirt.
Water it constantly and make sure to keep the soil moist.

Bean growth stages

Since the explanation is made for a small age group, we will take here the stages of growth of the cowpea plant as an example to make the picture clear for children, and the stages can be summarized as follows:

Soil moisture is blown out of the size of a cowpea grain.
The envelope surrounding the bean is split open, and the embryo emerges from it.
The root of the bean is directed towards the ground.
The bean comes out of the ground, and the leaves begin to emerge.
The leaves bloom little by little, and the plant grows.
After the plant grows to a certain extent - depends on the type of plant grown and the extent of care and attention to it - it blooms.
A cowpea pod emerges from each flower, and the pod contains the beans of the cowpea.
