Understanding Seed Movement and Research

The video tutorial guides second-grade students through a lesson on habitats, focusing on how seeds can grow and disperse in different environments. Students are encouraged to think like scientists, using maps and brainstorming activities to explore why certain seeds aren't reaching suitable growth areas. The lesson includes a drawing activity to visualize seed movement and encourages discussion with peers or family.
