Hey! Today we are going to learn about seed plants. Not every plant has seeds.
Now you know what they look like, and here is what we are going to learn...
- The characteristics of seed plants
- The main characteristics of gymnosperms and angiosperms and their importance
- How are monocots and dicots the same.
An obvious characteristic is that they all have seeds. Seeds help them reproduce. For example, pine cones are seeds, yes seeds, people get mistaken. Pine cones fall off of trees and then they reproduce as new trees.

Another characteristic is that all seed plants have vascular tissue. Vascular tissue brings food and nutrients all around the plant.
Now we are going to talk about the main characteristics of gymnosperms and angiosperms.
Gymnosperms
Gymnosperms are the oldest trees alive today. As a matter of fact, there is a tree in California that is a gymnosperm and is 4,900 years old! Gymnosperms are vascular. They produce seeds on female pine cones. Gymnosperms don't produce flowers or fruit. The leaves are mostly needle like or scale like. The four divisions of gymnosperms are conifers, cycads, ginkgoes, and gnetophytes.
Angiosperms
Angiosperms are vascular. They produce flowers and fruit unlike the gymnosperms. Their seeds are inside a fruit. That is why when you take out the seed from an apple and plant it, it makes another tree. More than half of the plants that are known are angiosperm. Angiosperm is divided into two groups. I would be talking more about that later
Monocots and Dicots
Now we are going to talk about the similarities between monocots and dicots. They both are angiosperms like I said. They both have seeds in them. Monocots have 1 seed. Dicots have 2 seeds. Mono means one and di means two. They each have seed leaves in their seed. There is one seed leaf per seed.
I hope you had a good time reading my blog!!

Julian, great job. You just had a little issues. Not too much Grammar mistakes I saw, that's good! What I'm worried about is kind of the look of your blog. Don't get me wrong juju, it's really good, I'm not saying its ugly dude. I think it should be a little spacious, and maybe to look better and more organized, try adding bulletin points for your facts, it would really help. I also really liked your picture! They were really good, and was relative to what you were talking about. Now, your length, it could of been a little longer. Julian, if someone was to come to your blog knowing absolutely nothing about seed plants, at the end of reading it, I don't think they would have complete knowledge of what REALLY are seed plants, what do they do, gimnosperms and angiosperms, and those 2 groups of angiosperms. Now, I'm not saying they would know NOTHING! They would obviously learn something, you had good facts, but I just think you should explain your facts a little big more in detail, and remember to try to work on how it looks as in space. It looks pretty crammed together, but if you just used bulletin points to label your facts, it would be even better!! :D Good job, overall, those were just some things you could use to improve your blog for next time. Good job, I give you a 4, but remember to do what I told you, or at least try, so I can be more confident in that 4 I gave u!
