4. Introduce seeds from the collection and discuss how each might travel. For example, if aseed has burrs, demonstrate how it can attach to clothing or other objects.More to doArt: Paint with weeds (weeds dipped in white paint and brushed onto dark paper make aninteresting winter scene).More science: Go for a nature walk and look for weeds growing in the ground. Pull the weedsout of the ground, noting the different types.
