First you soak the seed for 24 hours then you take off the seed coat, break it in half carefully. One side will have the food supply
which is called the cotyledon and the other side is called the embryo which is the baby.By Cylis, Isla.

SEED DISSECTION.
We had 4 different seeds : lima beans, pinenuts, corn, chickpeas pinto beans. We carefully peeled off the seed coat. Then we broke the seed in half. One side had an embryo and the other had food supply . It was fun when we found the embryo! I learned you can eat pine nuts . The most interesting thing was that every seed has a baby inside which it is also called the embryo. The part I liked finding the embryo. It was fun. There are 4 stages in finding the embryo.

Kia ora Isla,
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting blog post. I didn't know that seeds had an embryo in them. I thought that a seed was simply a seed. Thank you for teaching me about the different parts. It will help me understand how I can use seeds from the things I eat in my garden.
Keep up the great learning and blogging,
