Seed Scavenger Hunt
Go on a hunt for seeds. How many different kinds of seeds can you find on a walk around your neighbourhood? Take a bag or basket to collect them in.
Did you know that seeds try to be dispersed (spread to other places) in different ways? Some use the wind and even have little wings or ‘helicopters’ to help them. Some use water and can float. Others use animals to move them. They might do this by having hooks that catch animal’s fur (or your clothes!) or they might be inside something yummy, so that animals will eat them. Have a look at the seeds that you collect and think about how they are dispersed. Can you figure it out?
