  Young children are able to learn a lot faster than older ones because of their developmental stage. Their interaction with the external environment is key to how they view the world and their involvement in it at a later stage. The unit, Seed identification, creates a bond between the learner and his natural environment. The unit not only delivers content but also develops confidence, fine and gross motor skills, coordination, and flexibility. The 4-H Clubs has incorporated seed identification into its curriculum in order to develop an appreciation for the social as well as psychomotor development of their learners.

• What are seeds ?
  • 
    

    Seeds are the small parts produced by plants from which a new plant grows. Most seeds come from flowering plants. If you open a flower, you will find several parts that are important in the production of seeds, for example, the petal. The petal is important for the protection of seeds and the attraction of pollinators. Examples of pollinators are birds, bees, butterflies, and even the wind, which carries pollen from plant to plant, resulting in pollination.

    Next we will learn more about seeds from our friend, makemegenius.
