Seeds come inside of fruit. Seeds are one way that Nature starts new plants.

Seeds come in many different sizes, from tiny lettuce seeds to larger watermelon seeds, to HUGE avocado seeds. When people are not around, the seeds from a plant fall to the ground and are eventually covered up by dirt or leaves. A little rain will fall. The weather turns warm and sometimes those seeds begin to sprout, develop roots, send up some leaves, and grow into new plants.

Fruit are sweet and yummy. People and animals like to eat fruit. An animal will find a fruit near the plant it came from, carry it to a far away place and eat it. The seed is not eaten and is left behind by the animal. A new plant grows in a new place far away from the plant is grew on.

Next time you are eating a fruit, see if it has a seed. Look at the seeds inside a cucumber. Also look at the seeds in tomatoes, oranges, watermelons, or squash. Did you know that the beans and peas you eat are whole seeds? On a strawberies, the little specks on the outside are its seeds! Banana seeds are the dark specks that you see in a slice.
