What are all the different ways that seeds disperse?

WOW! Wonder Launch

Dissect a flower and identify each of the different parts that help with fertilisation.

What are the different parts of a flowering plant and what do they do?Flowering plants have four main parts: roots, stem/trunk, leaves, and flowers. Roots anchor the plant and take in water and nutrients from the soil. The stem or trunk supports the plant and carries water to the leaves. Leaves make food using sunlight, and flowers help the plant reproduce by making seeds.

What do plants need to live and grow, and do all plants need the same things?Plants need air, light, water, nutrients from the soil, and room to grow. Without these things, they can't stay healthy. Some plants need more sunlight or water than others, depending on where they live. Learning about these differences helps us understand how plants grow in different environments.

How do flowering plants grow and make new plants?Water travels through a plant from the roots to the leaves and flowers through tiny tubes in the stem. Flowers are important because they help with pollination, where pollen is moved from one flower to another to make seeds. After seeds form, they are spread by wind, animals, or people—this is called seed dispersal. This life cycle helps the plant grow new plants and keep the species alive.

Pollen – A fine powder made by flowers that helps plants make seeds when moved to another flower.

Seed – The part of a plant that can grow into a new plant when it is in the right conditions.

Life cycle – The stages a plant goes through from seed to adult plant and back to seed again.

Pollination – When pollen is moved from one flower to another, helping plants make seeds.

Seed dispersal – The way seeds are spread to new places by wind, water, animals, or people.
