REMINDER:  You will be taking weekly observations of your lima bean plants for the Explore – Growing Your Own Plant activity. Be sure to note these in your chart!
What do you already know about how seeds travel?  Try the activity below to discover how these different seeds are dispersed. Here, you find pictures of various seeds.  You need to decide if each seed travels by wind, water, animals, or explosion.  Drag and drop the seed pictures into the appropriate box. This is not a test and is not used for marks. This activity introduces you to four ways seeds can be dispersed (spread).
