Plants

We are studying Plant Diversity Directions:You and your partner need to make sure that you finished the work from last week (see last week's instructions), including drawing four flowers in the greenhouse, and labeling them, and making a guess as to how that particular flower probably disperses seeds. When you are sure that you are finished, you may watch this video on how seeds travel Then you can start to plan out a short play to teach what you have learned about seed dispersal. Make sure you explain at least 3 different ways that seeds can travel away from the parent plant to a new place. Have fun!

Directions:You and your partner will need to share the computer today for 3 tasks, and you must use your notebooks for one task. You may complete these tasks in any or der:

Why is it important for seeds to be able to travel far? or =  How does environment play a role in seed dispersal? =
 * Read about seed dispersal
 * Watch the seed dispersal ppt: [[file:howseedstravel-090531140214-phpapp02.ppt]]
 * Select a question to answer on the discussion board:


 * Sketch 4 different flowers in the greenhouse. Inside each flower are seeds growing. Next to each picture of the flower, think about how the seeds might be dispersed (sent away from the plant).
