The life cycle of a pumpkin starts with a seed, which germinates into a sprout, grows into a vine with flowers, and after pollination, produces pumpkins containing seeds to begin the cycle again. Articles are a unique way for readers to learn about the world around them. In addition to building reading comprehension skills and increasing vocabulary, articles can be used for writing and research. The article is broken into 6 single-page sections: What is a Life Cycle?, The Seed and Germination Stages, The Seedling, Vine, and Flower Stages, Growing and Mature Pumpking Stages, The Life Cycle Continues, and Words to Know.
