Traveling seeds - Lesson for Grade 2, Chapter - Relationships in ecosystems
In the "Traveling Seeds" lesson, designed for Grade 2 students as part of the "Relationships in Ecosystems" unit in Science, students embark on an exploratory journey into the fascinating world of how seeds travel and the pivotal role they play in ecosystems. Through engaging activities such as the "Nature Planting Seeds Worksheet" and "Seeds on the Move Worksheet," students will uncover the various methods seeds use to move from one place to another - whether by wind, water, animals, or other natural forces.
Understanding seed dispersal is crucial as it explains one of nature's ingenious ways of ensuring the survival of plant species, promoting biodiversity, and maintaining healthy ecosystems. By learning how seeds travel, students will appreciate the interconnectedness of all living things and the importance of every species in an ecosystem.
This lesson not only enriches students' knowledge in Science but also instills a sense of curiosity and respect for nature. It encourages them to observe the natural world around them more closely and understand how even the smallest actions, like a seed's journey, can have a significant impact on the environment.

Activity 2 / Seeds on the Move Worksheet
Seeds need to be transported from place to place in order to grow in new places. Now, these seeds are not always planted by man. Sometimes, they are simply carried by the wind, and some other seeds are carried by animals. Explain the concept of spreading seeds across the land to your students with this traceable worksheet. Look at the pictures with them, and identify whether the seeds would be carried by the wind or by an animal.
