Pollination and Seed Dispersal

Attendees will learn how a flower reproduces, starting with pollen being taken from a pollinator and transferred to another flower to form a seed. The developed seed will be compared to the different ways a seed can be dispered: expulsion, wind, water, or via animal. Examples of each type of seed will be provided for a visual representation of how size and shape of a seed contributes to the dispersal method.
