Seeds in Motion

  • Scheduling
    To schedule your program, contact Catie Resor at cresor@ctaudubon.org.

Students will investigate their schoolyard to find and document the variety of seeds. They will learn that seeds need to disperse to find a suitable location to grow and can do so in a variety of ways. Focus is on dispersal aided by animals.

Students will build observation skills and use evidence to connect plant and animal features with various seed dispersal strategies
