Nature is a great teacher and getting kids outside to learn and play is good for their brains and their bodies. Try this outdoor activity from Project Learning Tree® – it’s safe, fun, and educational!

Project Learning Tree® (PLT) is an initiative of the Sustainable Forestry Initiative.

Have Seeds, Will TravelMost plants reproduce using systems that include flowers and seeds. In this outdoor investigation, children

observe, collect, and classify plant seeds.

Gather a collection of seeds from a wooded area. Try using one or more of the following methods:

• Drag an old blanket or fuzzy cloth behind you on the ground.

• Place a large, old, wool sock over hands or shoes to see what you can pick up.

• Wear bracelets made of masking tape (sticky side out), to hold the seeds you find.

Have children examine their seed collections and invent a system for sorting or classifying them. Explain that plants

have developed many different methods of seed dispersal, to ensure the success of their species. Some seeds need

the help of other external variables to disperse.

These three examples represent only a few of the many ways that seeds can be dispersed. Conduct your own research

to explore more -OR- consider challenging children to design their own seeds, complete with specialized dispersal

mechanisms. To make a functioning model, try using a dried lima bean with different art materials (feathers, toothpicks,

cardboard, cotton balls, string, rubber bands, etc.) to design a new type of seed. What dispersal method will it use?

Explore and Review:

• How do a seed’s shape and size affect its dispersal?

• Why is it important for seeds to be dispersed in

different ways?

• What are three mechanisms of seed dispersal?

• Can some seeds travel farther than others?
