[quote=\"SAHM_TAN\"]Hi,


May I know do all fruits contain seeds? Thank you.

Yes.

I read somewhere that banana do not have seeds. May be for P3 level, the above answer is correct.[/quote]Hi HAPPYH,
By definition fruits in flowering plants will have seeds..
as such banana also have seeds but these are quite small and does not help in reproduction as such. try to cut a banana, you will seesmall specks/dots radiating outward from the center. these are actually the seeds of banana fruit.

wild banana has more visible seeds.

pls do refer to the wikipedia website for more details.. the second link is for image search of banana seeds.. some good pictures for our kids to see and observe banana seeds..

Daughter’s teacher has started classification…she has been asked to read up on ‘characteristics of living/non-living things’. Used this title meant for P2 to ramp her up. It is a simplified version as p3 lower block is still a little difficult.
