Organise the vocabulary, quantities and relationships into a connected model.

This extension applies that lens specifically to The Life Cycle of a Flowering Plant.

A flowering plant — like a bean, a sunflower or a mielie (maize) plant — has a clear life cycle:

  1. Seed. The journey begins with a seed, which holds a tiny baby plant and a food store.
  2. Germination. Given water, warmth and air, the seed sprouts: a root grows down and a shoot grows up. This sprouting is called germination.
  3. Seedling. The young plant grows leaves and gets taller.
  4. Mature plant. It becomes a full-grown plant with roots, a stem and leaves.
  5. Flowers → seeds. The plant makes flowers, and the flowers make new seeds — and the cycle can begin again.
