Educational worksheet for preschoolers to learn about the parts of a seed and the stages of seed germination.

Let’s solve this step by step.

Part 1: Label the parts of the seed

We are given three labels to cut and paste:
- stored food
- seed coat
- baby plant

Looking at the diagram of the seed (the big oval shape with a little sprout inside):

→ The outermost layer that protects the seed is called the seed coat.
→ Inside, there’s a small curled-up structure — that’s the baby plant (also called embryo).
→ The rest of the space inside the seed (especially in beans or similar seeds) holds nutrients for the baby plant — that’s the stored food.

So, matching lines from the diagram:

- Top line → points to the outer edge → seed coat
- Middle line → points to the tiny sprout inside → baby plant
- Bottom line → points to the large inner area → stored food

✔ So the correct labeling from top to bottom is:
1. seed coat
2. baby plant
3. stored food

Part 2: Arrange the sprouting seed in the correct order

We have 3 pictures showing stages of a seed growing in a pot:

Picture A (left): Seed has sprouted roots going down and a stem coming up out of the soil.
Picture B (middle): Just a seed sitting in the pot — no growth yet.
Picture C (right): Seed has started to crack open and a tiny root is emerging downward.

The correct biological order of germination:

1. First, the seed sits quietly in the soil → Picture B
2. Then, it absorbs water and starts to grow a root → Picture C
3. Finally, the root grows down and the shoot comes up through the soil → Picture A

So the numbered boxes should be filled as:

Box 1 → Picture B (just the seed)
Box 2 → Picture C (root starting to emerge)
Box 3 → Picture A (full sprout with roots and stem)

But wait — let’s double-check the images based on typical worksheet layout.

Actually, looking again at the bottom row:

Left image: Sprout with roots AND stem above soil → final stage
Middle image: Seed alone in pot → first stage
Right image: Seed cracked, root emerging but nothing above soil → middle stage

Yes — so:

Stage 1: Middle image (seed only)
Stage 2: Right image (root emerging)
Stage 3: Left image (sprout fully emerged)

Therefore, under the numbers:

→ Box 1 gets the middle picture (seed only)
→ Box 2 gets the right picture (root emerging)
→ Box 3 gets the left picture (full sprout)

But since we’re arranging them “in the correct order” under 1, 2, 3 — we assign each picture to its stage number.

Final arrangement:

Number 1 → middle picture
Number 2 → right picture
Number 3 → left picture

Now, putting it all together for the Final Answer.

──────────────────────────────────────

Final Answer:

Labeling the seed parts (top to bottom):
1. seed coat
2. baby plant
3. stored food

Sprouting seed order (under numbers 1, 2, 3):
1 → middle picture (seed only)
2 → right picture (root emerging)
3 → left picture (sprout with stem and roots)
