Family Program: Sorting and Shaping Seeds (On-site Drop-in Program)

Take a close look at a variety of seeds to learn about different strategies that plants have evolved for seed dispersal. Sort seeds into categories based on their shapes and structures to predict their primary mode of dispersal, then engineer your own seed that can conquer the challenges of dispersal via water and/or animal.
