Part 2: The Apple Life Cycle
- Seed: The life cycle begins with a tiny seed, which is planted in the soil.
- Sprout: With water and sun, the seed starts to grow and a little green sprout pokes out of the ground.
- Tree: The little sprout grows bigger and bigger into a strong apple tree. This can take many years!
- Blossom: In the spring, beautiful flowers called blossoms bloom all over the tree's branches.
- Apple: A yummy apple grows where the flower was. Inside the apple are new seeds, and the cycle can start all over again.
