Walnut Grove Elementary Students Dissect Seeds

Published August 26, 2021

Walnut Grove Elementary third graders are getting to the root of their latest science lesson about seeds.

Students in WGES teacher Becky Doogan's class were given a soaked lima bean to dissect Thursday, August 26. During the lesson, they reviewed the parts of the seed and learned how it grows into a plant.

"You can't really see the roots and stem yet, but you can see the beginning of the plant," said WGES student Blake Gulyas. "It was the first time I've taken a seed apart, and it was pretty cool."
