About Fruits

Botanically, a fruit is the seed-bearing part of a flowering plant, which is why the avocado on this sheet counts alongside the peach and the plum. Strawberries carry their seeds on the outside, and each little bump is technically its own tiny fruit. Watermelon is mostly water by weight, and cranberries float, a trait growers use when they flood the bogs at harvest. Fifteen clues here cover orchard trees, tropical crops, vines and berries.

Reach for this during a unit on plants, nutrition or grocery vocabulary, or hand it out as a quiet-time page after a snack lesson.
