How many types of seeds can you collect? Where will you find them? Each of you should try to collect as many different types of seeds as you can. After that, put all the seed collections together. Now observe these seeds carefully – their shapes, sizes, colours, textures (smooth or rough). Make a seed chart to put up in the class. You can start with a table like this.

Plants cannot move around. Once they grow, they remain in the same place. But their seeds are great travellers! They can reach far and wide. Look at picture 1 and see the flying seeds.

Look at your seed collection. Guess how many of those could have travelled by flying.
Look at the picture. This seed cannot fly, but it can still travel by sticking to the fur of animals or on our clothes. In this way, it gets a free ride!
Did you get any new ideas from these seeds?
