Y3 Seed Dispersal Methods

Pupils learn about the various ways plants disperse their seeds. They learn about the importance of seed dispersal in the life cycle of plants. Pupils have to group seeds according to the seed dispersal method being deployed. They also have to explain how and why they made their choices based on the visual clues provided in the pictures.


Learning Objectives:

  • PoS - explore the part that flowers play in the life cycle of flowering plants, including pollination, seed formation and seed dispersal
  • WS - pupils should ask relevant questions and use different types of scientific enquiries to answer them; use straightforward scientific evidence to answer questions or to support their findings; look for patterns in the structure of fruits that relate to how the seeds are dispersed
