Seed Dispersal Helpers Matchup

Learn how seeds move with this second- and third-grade matching activity! Seed dispersal helpers, such as animals, wind, and gravity, help move seeds to new locations. In this worksheet, students will read about the traits of six different seeds, then match it to its seed dispersal helper.

This practice will reinforce the idea that the structure of seeds affect their method of dispersal. By making this connection, students can understand how living things evolve specific traits to help them survive in the wild. Learners will also recognize that plants depend on both biotic and abiotic factors to move seeds.
