Chart 11

HOW SEEDS TRAVEL

  1. Seeds travel away from the mother plant in many ways.
  2. The wind often moves seeds great distances.
  3. Animal carriers also contribute to their relocation.
  4. Explosion is another way this mother plant releases the seeds or spores great distances.
  5. This enables plants to reproduce their species in other locations than the original environment.


Chart 12

HOW PLANTS ARE SUPPORTED

  1. Some plants do not have a very strong stem, so they develop tendrils which support them by winding around sticks or poles, or the stems of other plants.
  2. Other plants which do not have strong stems crawl along the ground.


Chart 13

ROOTS: ANOTHER MEANS OF SUPPORT

  1. This chart shows men holding the plant - anchoring it to the ground, so that when there is a strong wind, the plant is not pulled down.
