We have been busy creating graphs, participating in reading discussion groups, finishing writing pieces, and learning about how seeds travel.  Here are some photos from the last couple of weeks.

Learning about How Seeds Travel

Seeds travel on the air, like dandelion seeds

and Japanese maple seeds.

 

Some seeds, such as the sea coconut, hamburger bean, and swamp palm, travel by floating on water.

We learned about other ways that seeds travel, too!

Next, we made our own seeds out of feathers, cotton balls, tissue paper, pipe cleaners, and other materials.  We designed them to float on the breeze.  We tested our designs using a fan and then by dropping them from the top of the play structure.  It was exciting to see our seeds take flight!  When they landed, we used movement to show what types of plants we imagined growing from our seeds.
