Travelling Seeds

Offered by and last updated on August 28, 2008.

Description In the Fall, most plants set seed and prepare for the rigours of winter. How do different plants do this, what are the various methods of dispersal and what conditions are necessary for a seed to germinate and grow? The program begins with a puppet show which introduces these ideas, a short recap of the parts of a seed and then a guided and interactive walk to consolidate learning.
