Life Cycle of a Bean
Growing beanstalks is a fun way to engage children in nature study and adds a cross-curriculum element to a Jack and the Beanstalk theme. This set of printable worksheets and activities will help you learn more about the life cycle of a bean.
The seed of the bean plant, the bean, grows in a case called a pod.
The seeds are harvested from the pod and planted or they fall from the pod as it dries.
After the seed is planted it will germinate. This means that the hard shell softens and splits. Roots begin to grow downwards and a shoot will grow upwards.
The shoot will appear above the soil. Then two leaves will start to grow.
The plant will grow taller and more leaves will grow.
About six to eight weeks after germination the bean plant reaches adulthood and flowers will grow.
When the flower has been fertilized seed pods develop. The seed pods mature and can be harvested for food.
Pods that remain on the plant will harden and dry and split open releasing their fruit, the beans, so the cycle can begin again.
