LIFE CYCLE OF A SUNFLOWER STAGE 1: SEED The first stage of a sunflower is the seed. The seed always starts out as a tiny seed. The best time to plant a sunflower is in the spring. It takes a long time for sunflowers to grow.

Sunflowers need a lot of plant care like water, sunlight,air and, soil.

4

LIFE CYCLE OF A SUNFLOWER STAGE 2: SPROUT After the seed is planted a couple weeks later it sprouts.

For a sprout to grow, a sunflower needs air, water, sun and soil.

After the seed has sprouted all the way it becomes a sunflower.

Rain wets the ground for the sprout to grow.

5

LIFE CYCLE OF A SUNFLOWER STAGE 3: SUNFLOWER The next stage in the sunflower life cycle is a sunflower.

A sunflower bud takes 2 months to be in full bloom. In the fall the sunflower dies and the seeds drop into the dirt. In the spring the sunflowers seeds make new sunflowers.

6

LIFE CYCLE OF A SUNFLOWER STAGE 4 : SEED DROP The next stage in the sunflower life cycle is seed drop. In the fall the sunflower dies. In the spring a new sunflower comes to life from the seed that drop from the fall sunflower.

7

How Does a Sunflower Survive?

Sunflowers need air, rain, sun, and soil to survive.

When sunflowers don't survive, they "pass away" in the fall but are "reborn" in the spring.

Seeds also drop to make new sunflowers in the fall.

8

How Do Sunflowers Reproduce?

What does reproduce mean?

Reproduce means when sunflowers drop a seed and make a new sunflower.

Sunflowers attract insects such as bees. The "showy" ray petals help attract the pollinators.

Bees get pollen from one sunflower and spread it from one sunflower to another.

9

Fun F acts

Sunflowers can live up to 80 to 120 days.

It can grow up to 3 ft tall. Tall right?

At first it dosen't have to many leaves.

Like all flowers they slowly move toward the sun.

It can brighten you up in my opinion.

WHAT LIFE CYCLES HAVE IN COMMON

Plants and animals have different life cycles, but they have many stages in common, too. Here is a quick list of how all living things are similar to one another:

OFFSPRING NEWBORNS, EGGS, AND SEEDS! All living things, like plants and animals, start somewhere. In science, when a living thing is born, it is called an offspring. A sunflower starts out as a seed, while a chick begins life as an egg. It's all offspring!

THE END ....OF THE LIFE CYCLE! Eventually all animals and plants grow old and pass away. This is the end of their life cycle. It is something all living things go through and is very natural.

CHANGES LIVING THINGS GO THROUGH CHANGES! All living things go through stages of a life cycle. All life cycles go through many changes as they grow and develop.
