This document provides a summary of topics, objectives, and activities for a 1st grade science class from September 27th to October 1st about plants. The topics covered include what plants need, how plants reproduce to make new plants, and seed dispersal mechanisms. The objectives are for students to understand basic plant needs and how plants reproduce. Assessments include having students explain plant needs through drawings and how plants reproduce. In-class activities involve designing a home garden and watching videos about plant life cycles and pollination. Homework includes developing an inquiry activity about plants in extreme habitats.

Activities
Seeds and their dispersal mechanisms

What is a Seed?

Seeds are the unit of the reproduction of a flowering plant that is capable to develop into a single plant. In some
species of plant, like walnuts, groundnuts, and chickpeas, seeds are also used as sources of food.

What is Seed Dispersal?

Seed Dispersal is an adaptive mechanism in all seed-bearing plants, participating in the movement or transport of
seeds away from their parent plant to ensure the germination and survival of some of the seeds to adult plants.
There are many vectors to transport the seed from one place to another.
Activities
Seed Dispersal by Wind : The wind is the natural and fundamental means of seed dispersal in the plant kingdom. This process of dispersal is
mainly seen in those plants which bear very light seeds. The seeds of the orchid plant, dandelions, swan plants, cottonwood tree, hornbeam,
ash, cattail, puya, willow herb, are all examples of plants whose seed are dispersed by the wind.

Seed Dispersal by Water : In this method of seed dispersal, seeds float away from their parent plant. These are mainly seen in those plant
which lives in water or nearby the water bodies like beaches, lakes, ponds etc. Coconut, palm, mangroves, water lily, water mint, are a few
examples of plants whose seed are dispersed by the water.

Seed Dispersal by Animal and Birds: Few animals and birds are attracted to bright colourful fruits. They eat the entire fruit and only the juicy
part is digested by their system and the seed are excreted out in the form of their dropping, which forms into new plants. Blackberry, cherry,
tomato and apple seeds are dispersed in this way. A few species of squirrels collect nuts from different plants like acorns and bury them
under the soil as they store food for the winter season and often forget the place where they have previously buried them and the seeds grow
into new trees. There are a few plants which bear seeds with hooks. Burdock plant is an example of this type of plant species. The seed of
these plants catches on the fur of animals and are carried away to different places, far from their parent plants.

Seed Dispersal by Gravity : As the fruits from the tree fall on the ground due to the force of attraction, they sometimes roll down to some
smaller distance, get buried in the soil after a few days and germinate into a new plant.

Seed Dispersal by Explosions : Explosions in fruits literally refer to bursting with all its energy. In this case, as the fruits get ripened, it
shoots out its seeds into the external environment. This type of seed dispersal is mainly seen in those plants having pods.
Activities
Observe plant pollination video and argue its importance.
