In this outdoor activity, students learn how some trees use animals to disperse their seeds and how plant biology has evolved to rely upon squirrels collecting acorns and burying them in the ground. The game gets students thinking about how large seed such as acorns are dispersed and transported by small animals.
An easy to organize activity for your first steps outdoors and enables you to test the student’s ability to regroup when required. To extend the learning have students design a new method of seed dispersal. Draw a picture which shows different ways wind, water, animals and seed shape can contribute to seed dispersal.
