Science- Life Cycle of a Runner Bean

What do you know about the lifecycle of a plant?

Today at achool we're planting runner beans so that we can watch how they germinate and grow. 

Here's an information sheet that explains more about the different stages in the life cycle of a runner bean.

Once our beans have germinated and grown into seedlings we're going to plant them in our edible playground where they can grow until the beans are ready to harvest. 

Have a go at answering these questions on the bean life cycle at home.
