    The document outlines two experiments students will conduct to investigate how plants move seeds from one place to another. In the first station, students will use felt to collect Velcro seeds and then try to shake them off in another part of the room, simulating how seeds stick to fur. In the second station, students will blow on sunflower seeds floating in water to move them across the tub, demonstrating how water can transport seeds. After the experiments, the teacher will discuss seed dispersal and ask students to think of other ways seeds can travel.

    WE WILL BE CONDUCTING TWO EXPERIMENTS AT TWO STATIONS.

    Tell students that today they will be investigating how plants move seeds from one place to
    another.

    Station 1: Students will sprinkle Velcro ‘seeds’ onto their table or desks. They will then use
    a piece of felt to pick up as many seeds as they can by tapping the area where the seeds are.

    Once they have collected the seeds, they will move to another part of the room and try
    to shake/pull some of the seeds off of the felt.

    STATION 2: Students will float some sunflower seeds at one end of a tub of water. They will
    then gently blow on the seeds to move them to the other side of the container.

    Station 1: What happened when you tapped the felt over the seeds? How many seeds were
    you able to pick up? How did you get the seeds to come off the felt? How is the felt like the
    fur of an animal?
    Station 2: Teacher will ask, What happened to the seeds when the water started moving?
    How would the seeds get to land and start to grow? Do you think a seed could travel very
    far in water?
    EXPLORATION: 1. Teacher will have students share what they discovered at each of the
    stations. Prompt with questions to get the discussion going:

    Teacher will tell the students that today we just investigated how some seeds move from
    place to place. This is called seed dispersal. Can you think of any other ways that seeds
    might travel from place to place?

    move from place to place. This is called seed dispersal. Can you think of any other ways
    that seeds might travel from place to place
    ● What is pollination?
    ● What are some examples of pollinators?
    ● How are some seeds like Velcro?
    ● How does a Bee help move pollen?
    ● How does animal fur help move a seed from one place to another?

    EXIT: Teacher will ask students to share what they learned about seed dispersal and why it is
    important to plants.
