Specific websites assigned by
the teacher.
Learning Objective(s):
•
Students will observe the
characteristics of twelve
unknown seeds and
hypothesize the seed
dispersal mechanism used
by each parent plant. In
Part II students will then
identify these seeds using
a dichotomous key. The
extended study provides
an opportunity for
students to research plants
in greater depth, create a
