Listen and read along. Answer the questions. 01

How Seeds Move

When plants make seeds, the seeds can’t all grow close

to the plant because they need space. They need to

move to a different place. This is called seed dispersal

and it happens in different ways. dispersal: the process of

Why can’t the seeds spreading things
all grow close to the
plant?

How Seeds Move

The wind moves the seeds of some plants. Dandelion

seeds are very light. If it’s windy, the seeds blow far away
from the plant. Poppy seed heads have little holes around
the top. When the wind blows, the heads move and the

How Seeds Move

Fruits contain seeds. The fruits of some plants can float

on water. Coconut trees grow near water. If a coconut
falls into the sea, it travels a long way. If a coconut finds
land, a new tree grows.
Some plants, like peas, grow their fruit inside pods.

If a coconut finds land,

When the fruit is ready, the pods explode and the

How Seeds Move

Animals move seeds, too. Some plants have fruit that

animals like to eat. If a bird eats an apple, the apple seeds
move to a new place in the bird’s droppings. Some plants,
like mistletoe, have sticky seeds. If an animal passes
these plants, the seeds stick to its fur. Then the animal

What is “Human Dispersal”?

Human Dispersal

People move seeds too.

If a seed sticks to your sweater, you carry it

to a new place. If a seed gets into
