Question 10 of 13intermediate✨ CreateEssay5 marks

Observe the life cycle of five plants grown at home, school, or in a nearby garden. Create a picture book containing pictures of various stages of their growth. Write the name of each plant and the duration of each of its stage.

Correct Answer

Students should create a picture book documenting the life cycle of five plants.

For each plant, the book should include: Name of the plant, photographs or drawings of seed/seedling stage, vegetative growth stage, flowering stage, and fruit/seed production stage, along with the duration of each stage.

Bean plant - Seed stage (1-2 weeks for germination), Seedling stage (2-3 weeks), Vegetative growth (3-4 weeks), Flowering (1-2 weeks), Fruit/pod formation (2-3 weeks).

Mango tree - Seed germination (2-4 weeks), Seedling stage (several months), Young tree stage (3-5 years), Flowering (once per year during season), Fruit development (2-4 months).

Tomato - Seed germination (5-10 days), Seedling (2-3 weeks), Vegetative growth (4-6 weeks), Flowering and fruiting (6-8 weeks).

Sunflower - Germination (7-10 days), Growth (8-12 weeks), Flowering (2-3 weeks), Seed formation (3-4 weeks).

Marigold - Germination (5-7 days), Seedling (2-3 weeks), Flowering (6-8 weeks).

The picture book helps understand that different plants have different life cycle durations and that all plants follow the pattern of seed → growth → flowering → fruit/seed production.

Explanation

The chapter describes Activity 10.4 (Pages 12-13) where students plant a bean seed and observe changes over three months. The life cycle of a plant starts with seed germination, followed by several stages of growth and development, including flowering and seed production (Page 13). The chapter emphasizes that seeds produced during the life cycle germinate into new plants and the cycle continues. Creating a picture book helps students observe and document the complete life cycle of different plants.

Solution Steps

  1. Create a picture book documenting the life cycle of five plants

  2. Include the name of each plant in the documentation

  3. Include photographs or drawings of seed/seedling stage, vegetative growth stage, flowering stage, and fruit/seed production stage

  4. Record the duration of each stage for every plant

  5. Observe that different plants have different life cycle durations

  6. Understand that all plants follow the pattern: seed → growth → flowering → fruit/seed production
