Stomping Through the Weeds

Look for seed pods, seed clusters, and fruits attached to the plants.
Take a picture or make a drawing of four plants with their seeds. Put
your pictures on the blank pages 24 and 25. Underneath each
picture write the name of the plant's seed-spreading style, as
described below:
1. They are shakers if the seeds get shaken from pods or heads or
stems.
2. They are riders if the seeds or pods attach themselves with prickly
hooks to animals or people.
3. They are fruits if the plants have berries or nuts which are eaten
by birds and mammals.
4. They are flyers if the seed has silky fluff that can float in the air.
Have someone take your photo holding the page of pictures you drew
with the four types of seed pods.
