3. Germination
First roots grow
down into the soil.
Then the stem
grows up to the
light.
Leaves grow from
the stem.

5. Conditions for Growth
Seeds can germinate
under the soil, without
light.
But after germination,
young plants need
light and space, as
well as water, to grow
well.

6. Conditions for Growth
Some plants need
warm weather to grow
well, but others can
grow in cold places.
Farmers must plant
crops that suit the
weather and other
conditions where
they live.
