Exploring Seed Dispersal Mechanisms


Seeds and plants are common topics covered in the elementary science curriculum. Most of the time, students learn about parts of the plant and seeds through reading and worksheet activities. Even with hands-on exploration, students cannot see small structures on seeds that help with their dispersal. Using the digital microscope, such as the IntelPlay QX3, students can observe tiny structures on seed casing that are invisible to the naked eye. They can use their observations to categorize how seeds are transplanted from the host plant to a new site.
