Plants: Seed Dispersion

Paul and his Science Pals

After a musical opening with Paul and his friends, students sing along with music and lyrics that pin the unit vocabulary terms to strong images that represent the concept of seed dispersion. Then, under the direction of their teacher, two students learn how animals can play an important role in plant reproduction. Using various craft supplies, students will simulate an animal distributing plant seeds. The experiment will be repeated to demonstrate how the amount and location of seed distribution will vary each time an animal brushes against a plant.
