1. The Life Cycle of a Bean

2. Stage 1
The bean seed is covered with a hard outer shell. When water is added, it swells and the seed begins to grow.

3. Stage 2 The seed germinates.
Sprouts emerge to take root and a small plant sprouts out of the ground.

4. Stage 3
As the roots grow, a stem will also appear above ground. This is called a seedling.
The bean plant uses the food in the seed to grow.

5. Stage 4
Leaves start to grow and the stem stretches towards the light / sun.

6. Stage 5 Buds start to appear. The buds turn into flowers.
The flowers attracts insects to help pollinate the flowers.

7. Stage 6 The flowers turn into pods once fertilization takes place.
The seeds form inside the pods.

8. Stage 7
The pods dry out, turn brown and then break open to disperse the seeds.

9. Stage 8 The seeds fall to the ground.
If conditions are correct, the cycle will start all over again.
