Seed Dissection
By Maia Macbeth & Jessica Anderson
My name is Maia and I worked with Jessica.
We used a Pine nut, Corn seeds,
Lima beans, Pinto beans and Chickpeas.
We had to soak them in water for twenty four hours.
Jessica is the one with blonde hair.
Maia is the one with the darker hair.
We had to peel the coat slowly because otherwise they
would break.
We had to peel the seed coat off and put
it in the right piles then
we had to carefully dissect
and put the side
with no
embryo in the middle pile.
Then we pulled out the embryo.
In each one it was a different size.
They all looked different.
The most important bit was that we didn't break the embryo.
