The wind poem.

• The wind blows the seed whoosh it goes,
• Round the bush and over the tree whoosh it goes.
• Down and down until it stops whoosh it goes.
• In the ground for days and days.
• Its grown!

• The bird is passing by and it sees a blackberry
  bush.
• The blackbird swoops down to collect a blackberry.

• After the blackbird has eaten the berry, the seed
  will either pass straight through him, or he will
  spit the seeds out.

Seed Dispersal
Some seeds have hooks on them, they come from
teasels. Sometimes they hook onto animals such
as sheep. When this happens the seeds might start
to grow into a plant, this plant is called a
teasel .

• Eventually the seeds will drop off and they may
  if in the right conditions begin to grow forming
  a new plant.

SEED EXPULSION

• Seed expulsion
• What happens when a seed pod explodes?
• (This happens to poppies.)

11
Expulsion
When some plants get old they explode and let out
some of their seeds, this process is called
EXPULSION! When the plants explode, the seeds
plant themselves and start a new life. One day
those seeds will turn into plants and explode as
well.
12
This is my interpretation of seed expulsion

Water Travellers
Back to index section

• Some seeds get blown off the adult plant into
  the sea, rivers or lakes.
• The seeds are carried to other countries or
  islands.
• When the seed finds land it will grow into a
  new plant and it will soon produce seeds of its
  own.
