Synthesize previous seed lessons; write the life story of a seed.

Objective: Students will show their understanding of seed concepts through a language arts project.

Activity: Review and synthesize the previous lessons about seeds. Remember to incorporate the part animals play in seed dispersal, other ways seeds are dispersed, characteristics of seeds, how seeds grow, the needs of seeds, etc. Younger students will create a storyboard of the life of a seed, including seed dispersal, seed needs and growth. Older students will incorporate the seed concepts into a written story or play.

Assessment: Projects will reflect student's understanding of the stages of a seed.
