STEM Challenge with seeds! Students build a model to show how seed pods explode to disperse seeds. Fantastic extension to use after you study plants and flower parts!

First, I should give a “heads-up.” This is not a one-class period lesson. There is going to be a lot of drawing, discussion, and writing. Plan on at least 2-3 class periods for students to complete this mini-book. Here, students will create a book where each page presents a different way in which seeds get moved from one location to another. Yes, my class uses the term “dispersal.” It is an advanced word for them, but in my experience, they assess more importance to academic language than…

Help Nature Cat spread dandelion seeds and learn more about how forests grow through seed dispersal.

Taking attendance shows which students are physically present—these questions direct them toward active learning.

This video looks at the burdock which uses hooks and the grapple plant that uses spikes to help in the transportation of their seeds. This video is taken fro...

The growth and development of a plant is one of the most spectacular events in nature. Yet, because it happens so slowly, over the course of days or weeks, it is difficult to observe in real time. Watch this video from NOVA: "The Shape of Things", which depicts plant growth in time-lapse format. Students can observe in just a few seconds some of the most important life stages of a plant, from germination to the formation of a flower, and several phases in between.

Here is a seed dispersal tab it book! Students will finish writing about 5 different ways seeds are dispersed. On each page they will finish the first sentence and write about when this dispersal event occurs and draw a picture. On the last page you can have them write about their favorite way seed...

Plants are awesome too! We have filmed a lot of animals on Slo Mo for Earth Unplugged, so we thought it was about time that some plants got a look in, and w...

In this ZOOMSci video, two young scientists design an experiment to learn whether seeds stuck to a sock that has been worn in a grassy field will grow when planted in soil. The demonstration gives students a better idea of the kinds of plants growing in their area and helps them begin to think about the evolutionary strategies of plants.
