Seeds in Our Food

edited by: William C. Ritz and William Straits

This activity involves looking for seeds in fruit. Put out fruit for children to see and give them an opportunity to touch and smell each of them. Then cut the fruit and give each one. When one of them uses the word seeds, repeat the word and encourage children to discover that there are seeds in all of the fruits. For further discussion, ask if anyone knows what seeds do. A materials list, internet resources, standards, and safety practices are provided. This book selection also includes the Table of Contents, Preface, About the Editors, Introduction, Simple Graphing for Young Children, Science Teaching Boards and Boxes, Basic Materials List, and Index.
