Where can we find seeds?

Before planting, we wanted to know where seeds came from. 
The children were interested to see which fruits and vegetables had edible seeds and which did not. 


   
We cut up tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, strawberries, and apples to find and inspect their seeds. We also looked at some seeds from packets like carrot and broccoli seeds which are not seeds we normally see when eating the respective vegetables. 

We then took to the garden to get rid of some of the pesky weeds that have sprouted. The children were enthusiastic to remove the weeds that take water and space to grow away from flowers and other plants!
