Plant Life Cycle
From seed to flower to seed again, and why plants need animals to do it.
What this lesson covers
Plant Life Cycle is a 9-part Class 5 Science lesson. Each part makes one point and then hands over to the next, so it can be read in a sitting or picked up again at the part you stopped on. It defines the idea in plain words before using it, works through an example step by step, breaks the topic into its parts and compares them, shows where it is used outside the textbook, names the mistakes that cost marks in an exam, ends with a recap of what to remember.
How it begins
A life cycle is the sequence of stages a living thing passes through, ending where it began, with a new seed ready to start again. For a flowering plant the stages are: seed → germination → seedling → adult plant → flower → fruit and seed. The word "cycle" matters. Nothing is the endpoint; every stage exists to reach the next.
