LESSON 6: SEED DISPERSAL

Student Performance Based Product: Name……………………………

 

The graph represents the number of plants

that were grown after seeds were dispersed.

Answer the questions that follow.

Questions:

Which plant dispersed the most seeds? How can you tell?

Which seed resulted in the least plants? Why?

Which two plants probably dispersed the same number of seeds?

Name three seeds that are likely to be dispersed in an uncontrolled way.
