This Grade 1 medium worksheet teaches kids how seeds travel to new places. Young scientists read nine fill-in-the-blank sentences about seeds that fly in wind, float on water, stick to fur, and hide inside fruit. A matching activity links four familiar seeds, including maple, coconut, burr, and apple, with how each one moves. Helpful hints build science words and explain why spreading out helps new plants grow.
