Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: The Tiny Seed | Mrs. Bremers Class
Let’s solve this step by step.

We are looking at the life cycle of a sunflower. The goal is to put the 5 stages in the correct order — from start to finish.

Here’s what each picture shows:

- Picture 1: A seed (this is how it all begins!)
- Picture 2: A small sprout coming out of the soil (the seed has started to grow)
- Picture 3: A bigger plant with leaves, still growing
- Picture 4: A full-grown flower blooming
- Picture 5: The flower making new seeds (you can see seeds falling off)

Now let’s think about the real-life order:

1. First, you plant a seed → that’s picture 1.
2. Then, the seed grows into a tiny sprout → that’s picture 2.
3. Next, the sprout becomes a bigger plant → that’s picture 3.
4. After that, the plant grows a flower → that’s picture 4.
5. Finally, the flower makes new seeds so more sunflowers can grow → that’s picture 5.

So the correct order is:
Start with 1 (seed), then 2 (sprout), then 3 (growing plant), then 4 (flower), then 5 (making seeds).

That means the numbers should go:
1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5

Wait — but look again! In the worksheet, the pictures are already labeled with numbers 1 through 5… but they’re not in order yet. We have to rearrange them.

Actually, no — re-reading the instructions: “Put the sunflower’s life cycle in the correct order.” And the boxes are numbered 1 to 5 — meaning we need to assign which stage goes in box 1, which in box 2, etc.

But wait — looking closely at the image, the pictures are placed under number labels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 — but those numbers might just be placeholders for us to reorder.

Actually, let me clarify: The worksheet says “Put the sunflower’s life cycle in the correct order” and there are 5 boxes labeled 1 to 5 — each containing one stage. But the stages are currently in random positions. So we need to say which stage belongs in position 1, which in position 2, etc.

Looking at the current layout:

Box 1: Seed
Box 2: Sprout
Box 3: Growing plant
Box 4: Flower
Box 5: Making seeds

That’s actually already in the right order!

Seed → Sprout → Plant → Flower → Seeds

Yes — that’s the natural life cycle.

So the correct order is simply:
1 (seed) → 2 (sprout) → 3 (plant) → 4 (flower) → 5 (seeds)

Therefore, the answer is that the stages are already in the correct order as shown: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

But wait — maybe the question is asking us to write the sequence? Or perhaps the numbers on the boxes are fixed, and we just confirm the order?

Re-reading: “Put the sunflower’s life cycle in the correct order.” Since the images are already placed under numbers 1–5, and they match the biological order, then the correct sequence is 1-2-3-4-5.

Alternatively, if the task was to drag or move them, but since we’re solving it here, we just state the correct order of the stages.

Final check:

Stage 1: Seed planted
Stage 2: Sprout emerges
Stage 3: Grows into young plant
Stage 4: Blooms into flower
Stage 5: Produces new seeds

Perfect match with the pictures under 1,2,3,4,5.

Final Answer:
The correct order is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 — meaning the seed comes first, then the sprout, then the growing plant, then the flower, and finally the production of new seeds.
