  4. WATER • Ex. Coconut Water Lillies

  5. ANIMALS • Ex. Acorn Apples Grapes Melons Peanuts Sunflowers Cucumbers ** All fruits, nuts and vegetables

  6. Unique Seeds… • Some have “hooks” that stick to the fur or clothes of animals to increase their dispersal radius. • Ex. Cocklebur Burdock

  7. Germination! • What does a seed need to germinate? (think…. Where do we put them and what do we give them??) • Water • Proper temperature • *** They do not need sunlight until it is above ground!
