Something interesting:
What is the difference between a seed and a fruit? Make use of an example (Tip: The one surrounds the other one, in other words, you find the one inside the other one.):
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Do your own research on the distribution of seeds. This will mean that you must collect seeds and fruits, divide them into groups according to the ways in which they are distributed, and shortly describe how they are distributed. Your teacher will give you quite a few weeks to complete this assignment so that you can collect a large number of seeds.
LEARNING OUTCOME 1: SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATIONSThe learner will be able to act confidently on curiosity about natural phenomena, and to investigate relationships and solve problems in scientific, technological and environmental contexts.
We know this when the learner:
1.1 plans investigations: together with their co-learners, they list knowledge regarding familiar situations and materials and compile investigative questions;
1.2 leads investigations and collects data: execute instructions and procedures that entail smaller sections;
LEARNING OUTCOME 2: CONSTRUCTING SCIENCE KNOWLEDGEThe learner will know and be able to interpret and apply scientific, technological and environmental knowledge.
We know this when the learner:
2.1 recalls meaningful information: the minimum requirement is to describe the properties and characteristics of objects, substances and organisms in simple terms;
2.2 categorises information: creates own category of objects and organisms and explains own rule for categorisation;
2.3 interprets information.
Answer to very first questions: The seeds are distributed.
Second question: The seed occurs inside a fruit.
Example: A peach is the fruit and bears a seed inside the pip, or a pea/bean pod is the fruit, with the seeds inside it.
