To be able to understand how seeds are dispersed.
This week we are going to be looking at how seeds are dispersed. Follow the link below to watch a video from the BBC that explains seed dispersal.
Now lets put our new learning to work. Can you sort the seeds below out depending on how they are dispersed? Remember the possible ways are:
- Wind
- Eaten by animals
- Water
- Exploding
- Catching a lift from an animal
If you aren't sure about any of them have a close look at the seed and see if there are any clues. Does it have hooks to attached to the animals fur?
Once you have sorted all of the seeds check your work with the answers below.
