Alien Diary and Field Activity

Who soweth good seed shall surely reap

 Author:  Thomas Carlyle -a famous Earthling from the 19^th Century 

Watching squirrels gather nuts, made you consider the nuts themselves.  You have discovered that some of them come from trees and are the way that the tree makes new trees; that is reproduces.  This has made you very curious about other seeds in your field site area.  Next week you will spend some time locating as many seeds as possible.  For your diary entry, discuss plants on your home planet and give an example of how one of them reproduces. 

 

Seed Procedures:

 

1) Collect 4 – 8 seed samples from outside

 

2) For 2 of them, make scientific illustrations of the parent plant and note the size and color of the plant.  Tape a seed next to each the illustration.

 

3) Tape samples of all of the other seeds (if they are small and flat) on the page and put a few line description of the plant from which it came.  Note:  if you do not know the source of your seeds simply tape it on and write, unknown origin

 

4) Bring seed samples to school in a plastic bag where we will have a chance to look closely at them under the dissecting scopes and you will have a chance to plant one of them.  It is a good idea to bring several samples of each seed.

 

5) Hint:  a good way to collect seeds is to put a pair of old, large socks on over your sneakers.  Then walk in a field.
