Exploding seed pod experiment

A fun science experiment and seed dispersal activity for 2nd and 3rd graders learning about exploding seed pods while studying the life cycle of plants. Students build a simple model to show one of the ways that seeds travel.There are a lot of creative science activities for kids on this blog that are perfect for classroom teachers and homeschool parents!

It may be too early in the spring to think about seeds and ways to show seed dispersal. In fact, the weather may not be cooperating at all! Is it rainy during April where you live? I can still remember the baseball season when my son was little and the month of April was always

I’m running about 2 weeks late. My original plan was to have these ready to send home with our Mother’s Day gift, well, it’s May 12th and we just started them. While these seed pods are designed for guerrilla gardening (similar to seed bombs, but easier to make) I imagine most will end up inContinue reading "wildflower seed pods"
