COUNTING SEEDS IN FRUIT This project will be counting seeds in different kinds of fruits to see what kinds have the most seeds, and if two or three fruits from the same plant has the same number of seeds. It would take a very long time if we had to count the seeds in a very large watermelon, or in a pomegranate! Peaches would be easy, because they only have one seed, called a "pit." Seedless grapes don't have any seeds at all. Oranges and lemons have seeds; if there are trees where we could pick some, we could find out if several oranges (or lemons) from one tree has the same number of seeds. Beans and peas would be fun to try. If we had some in the garden, we could pick some and count them. If we have to count seeds from the fruit or vegetables we buy at the store, we won't be able to find out if the fruits or vegetables on one plant have an equal number of seeds. We have read that one carrot produces only two seeds, but one fruit of a tobacco plant may have more than 40,000 seeds! We could compare melon seeds by measuring the seeds in a cup, or by weighing them on a scale.  Any problems with this page? Send URL to
