With this WhaZoodle, kids will explore the importance of seed diversity, information about cacti, why flowers are different colors, and more about plants through the But Why Podcast by Vermont Public!
How Do Big Plants Grow From Such Small Seeds?
Why are there so many plants? How are seeds made? How can plants grow so big if they start from such a small seed? Why are flowers different colors? Why are plants and trees green? In this episode of But Why, we're talking about plants with garden consultant Charlie Nardozzi.
Why Are Cactuses Spiky?
What makes a cactus a cactus? And what are you supposed to call a group of these plants--cacti, cactuses, or cactus?! We'll find out in today's episode, as we learn more about the cactus family with Kimberlie McCue of the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, Arizona. She'll answer kid questions about why cactuses are spiky and how they got those spikes, as well as why teddy bear cactuses aren't actually cuddly!
Are Seeds Alive?
Here in Vermont it's planting time, and we've been getting a lot of questions about seeds from kids around the world.
