Today, we took our science lesson outside. After learning about how plants spread their seeds, we played seed dispersal game. We pretended to be squirrels preparing for winter. Each child got two raisins and two peanuts that represented acorns. The children were then asked to hide them as squirrels would do as a cache for winter when food is hard to come by. At the end, the children were challenged to retrieve their acorn cache for winter. Some of the squirrels didn't find any seeds as other squirrels took them. Some squirrels only managed to find one or two of the seeds they hid. We discussed what happened to those acorns that have not been retrieved or stole. We also looked at different leaves we could find on our field and discussed how plants make energy. It was fun to learn outside!
