Introduction
Students will discover the different processes of seed dispersals and the various adaptations required for that respective method of seed dispersal. They will create a mindmap to summarise the different modes of seed dispersal and the adaptations required.
Task
Sam the seed realizes that its siblings and cousins often die when germinating. He concludes that its due to a limited supply of air, food, water and space as everyone in his family is competing with each other for it.
He realizes that to survive, he needs to escape from his current home ground. However, he does not know how to get away and what he needs to do to aid in his escape.
Your task is to gather all the information that you can obtain from the videos in the Process tab and summarise them into a mindmap. With your mindmap, it will greatly aid Tom in deciding and planning his escape.
Process
Watch the following videos and note the following:
1) Method of dispersal
2) Adaptation required for dispersal

Conclusion
Hurray! You have completed the mindmap! Sam the seed greatly appreciates your help! He's definitely going to reference from your mindmap when planning his great escape!
Now, imagine that you are Sam, reflect on one mode of dispersal that you like by describing its process and why you like it. Also, please quote an example in your reflection!
