Exploring Seed Dispersal Mechanisms



Plants have created numerous seed dispersal adaptations to ensure the spread of seeds to other areas. In most classes, however, students do not have the opportunity to study these mechanisms, but instead memorize the parts of the seed. In this activity, students use the QX3 digital microscope to make more detailed observations of different seed adaptations and then are challenged to match the adaptations to the type of seed dispersal.
