How Seeds Travel

A seed cannot grow in its parent's shadow. There is not enough light. So seeds have to move away. Some seeds have wings. A sycamore seed spins like a tiny helicopter and lands far from the tree. Some seeds hook onto fur. A burr catches on a passing fox and drops off somewhere new. Some seeds sit inside fruit. A bird eats the fruit and the seed comes out later, miles away.

  1. 1. What is the main idea of this text?
  2. 2. How does a burr travel?
  3. 3. Why can a seed not grow in its parent's shadow?

How Milk Gets to the Shop

A dairy cow is milked twice a day, in the morning and the evening. The milk goes straight into a cold tank. Cold milk keeps fresh much longer than warm milk. A tanker takes the milk to a dairy. There it is heated for a few seconds to kill germs, then cooled again fast. This is called pasteurising. Last, the milk is poured into bottles and driven to the shop.

  1. 1. What is the heating step called?
  2. 2. Where does the milk go straight after milking?
  3. 3. What is the main idea of this text?
