Big Ideas
- Animals play important roles in helping plants grow by dispersing seeds and pollinating flowers.
- Simple models can help us understand how animals assist in plant reproduction.
Essential Questions
- How do animals help plants reproduce?
- What are some ways animals disperse seeds or pollinate plants?
- Why is it important for seeds to be dispersed and flowers to be pollinated?
- How can we model the way an animal helps a plant?
- What might happen if animals did not help with seed dispersal or pollination?
