Your Own Flight
Seed Models

Teachers' notes

Seeds often float or spin through the air. Then they may land a long way from the parent plant. That helps to spread the plant population. 

Here's how to make a model seed. It's a bit like a sycamore seed. Try to design a seed that takes a long time to reach the ground.
