Describes the many ways seeds are distributed.  Different kinds of animals transport seeds, often without knowing it. Sometimes rain washes seeds away to a new location.

SOIL LAB
Vary some attribute of soil in an experimental setup to study the effects of soil type on plant growth. In the classroom, students can design their own plant experiment utilizing different types of soil to grow the same type of plant. Consider a comparison between compost and soil, but also:
» Coffee added to soil
» Rocky soil v. non-rocky soil
» Watering methods (does soil moisture remain constant or does it dry up?)
» Soil samples from different locations in your garden
» Soil samples from different depths in your garden
» Soil from a bag v. soil from the ground
