The idea
Look at the described seed structure: hooks, wings, fluff or a fruit.
Step by step
- Look at the described seed structure: hooks, wings, fluff or a fruit.
- Connect the structure to a possible carrier such as wind, water or an animal.
- A useful structure supports a possible explanation; it does not prove the route of every seed.
Example
A lightweight seed has a broad papery wing. Which carrier could the wing help it use?
Answer
wind
A broad light wing can catch moving air.
