The Magic of Seeds
Have you ever wondered how a tiny seed can grow into a big, juicy watermelon? It's like magic! But it's not magic, it's science. When we plant a seed in the ground, it starts to grow roots and stems, and eventually, it becomes a big, strong plant.
Preparing the Soil
Before we can plant our watermelon seed, we need to prepare the soil. We need to make sure it's soft and has the right amount of water. We can use a shovel to dig a little hole, and then we can gently place the seed inside.
Caring for Our Seedling
Once our seed is planted, we need to take care of it. We need to make sure it gets enough water and sunlight. We can also add some special food to the soil to help it grow strong and healthy.
The Waiting Game
Now that our seed is planted, we need to wait for it to grow. This can take a few weeks, but it's so much fun to watch our seedling grow into a big, strong plant. We can even measure how tall it's getting every day!
