Seed Dispersal

We have been studying plants in science class. Today, we will be learning about how seeds travel. You will need to visit this web site: http://www.mbgnet.net/bioplants/seed.html in order to answer questions about how seeds travel. To receive full credit for the assignment, you must write in complete sentences. (You can print this page and write directly on it.)

Complete these activities using the web site as a resource:

1. What does dispersal mean?

2. How are seeds dispersed?

3. Explain how animals get the seeds out of fruits and disperse them.

4. Use the video clip at the bottom of this web page to draw a picture showing how “plants disperse their seeds in other ways.”
