Plant your seeds
Take a clay pot or a tin can with a wide mouth. Make a small hole at the bottom of the can. Fill your can with soil. Put four or five seeds of the same kind in the soil and press them gently. Different groups can plant different kinds of seeds, such as mustard (sarson), fenugreek (methi), sesame (til) or coriander (dhania).
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.
Make lists of :
Seeds of vegetables.
Make lists of :
Light seeds (check by blowing them).
Make lists of :
Seeds that are flat.
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.
Think what would happen, if seeds did not spread and remained at one place only.
Make a list of the different ways by which seeds are spread.
How do seeds spread to far-off places? Write in your own words.
