In this activity we’ll learn about traveling seeds. Trees, flowers and plants all grow from seeds. Each seed needs to travel away from the parent so that it has room to grow. They can’t just get up and walk away though, so how do these seeds travel? In this activity you’ll learn several ways that seeds travel.
