How
seeds get here and there
582 HOW
1 videocassette, 16 minutes.
How did
that weed get in the garden? Why do dandelions pop up in different places? How
do plants spread from one place to another, even where there are miles of water
in between? Seeds can't walk, or swim, or fly, or can they? Come with us on a
fascinating field trip as our eight-year-olds discover how seeds move. One finds
that even he carries a few hitchhikers. Another flies through the air on a
dandelion seed. And they all take part in the "great seed chase".
