Mechanism by which seeds are transported away from the parent plant.

Features of living organisms that help them survive in their environment.

Factor in a scientific investigation which may have an effect on the process being studied.

Measurements of the same value allows anomalous results to be identified.

A measure of average where all values are added together and divided by the number of repeat measurements that have been taken.

Seed dispersal: practical

Science

Pupils will learn about what the genome is, what it’s made of and where it’s stored, more detail about the chemical structure of DNA, and the relationship between an organism’s genome and its phenotype.

Pupils learned about changes experienced in puberty, the male and female reproductive systems, the menstrual cycle, sexual intercourse, gametes and fertilisation, gestation and birth, and the dangers of smoking, drinking and drugs during pregnancy.

Reproduction in plants

Physical activity and equipment requiring safe use

Use of equipment that may require supervision for safety, e.g. scissors in KS1, needles, paint, knives, cooking.

What is the mechanism by which seeds are transported away from the parent plant called?

Match the seed to its dispersal mechanism.

Results that don't fit the pattern are called {{}} results.

Calculate the mean of the following results.

Match the variables to their description for an investigation into how wing width affects the distance a seed travels.

Why do scientists take repeated measurements?

True or false? Seeds are the offspring produced from sexual reproduction in flowering plants.

Calculate the mean of the following numbers: 10, 5 and 15.

What is a factor that might affect the process that is being investigated?

Match the type of variable to its description.

What is the most likely dispersal mechanism for sycamore seeds?
