Summary
How does your garden grow? In this BrainPOP movie, Tim and Moby examine how plants grow and grow and grow! You’ll learn why flowers grow on apple trees, and how plants reproduce through pollination. Find out the parts of a flower and what each part does, as well as how insects help in the reproduction process. Discover what seeds are and how they sometimes go on long journeys to make new plants. See what conditions can cause a seed to germinate into a seedling, and how that seedling can become a full grown plant. All this talk of plant growth really plants the seed of knowledge!
