Seed Dispersal STEM Challenge | Hands-On Family Science Activity

Get ready for a fun, hands-on STEM challenge with seeds! In this activity, Kelly from The Field Trip Academy guides families and homeschoolers to design, test, and improve their own seed dispersal mechanisms. Using simple materials from around the house, you’ll explore how seeds travel by wind, water, animals, and even self-dispersal. Perfect for encouraging creativity, problem-solving, and observation skills — all while learning about nature’s ingenious adaptations. 🌿 In this video, you’ll learn: Essential materials for the seed dispersal challenge (common household items, seeds, tape, glue, measuring tape, etc.) How to test seed dispersal for wind, water, animals, and self-dispersal The engineering design process: design, test, iterate, and improve Tips for making the challenge collaborative or competitive for families Ways to connect your designs to real-world seed dispersal strategies 🎁 Free Resource: Download our Winter Seed Scavenger Hunt PDF → https://products.thefieldtripacademy.... ✨ Keep exploring nature-based science with us!
