How does an enormous yellow sunflower grow from a tiny striped seed? The kids in Ms. B's class find out through this exciting spring project.
Come see the process from one eager child's point of view as dusty seeds planted in cups by the windowsill face the challenges of kindergarten, a rainstorm, and deer at dusk.
Watch from up close as the seedlings sprout, spiky green buds develop, and flowers bloom. Then, at the end of the summer, find out how many new seeds grew from just one giant sunflower!
Let this glowing introduction to the life cycle of a plant—and broadly, to all growth cycles in our lives—inspire you to start a new project with family, friends, or your own classroom.
? "Startling ... cannot help recalling van Gogh, though these blooms are never confined to a vase. Gorgeous."—Kirkus (starred)
