They have a large area and are light.
They have a large area and are heavy.
They are flexible and soft.
Name the force that slows the seeds as they fall.
The children dispersed the seeds with a fan.The fan disperses seeds like the wind does in nature.
Name ONE other way seeds are dispersed in nature.
Some children are investigated how grass grows by growing their own grass heads.
All plants need water to grow.
Name TWO other things that all plants need to grow.
Some children give their grass head a hat.
They keep all other conditions the same.
The children predict that when the grass under the hat grows, it will look more yellow than the grass not covered by the hat.
Give ONE reason why the grass under the hat might look more yellow.
Some other children put their grass head in a sealed, dry plastic bag.
They keep all other conditions the same.
They observe that droplets of water form on the inside of the bag.
