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. Why can a seed not grow in its parent's shadow?
  2. 2. How does a burr travel?
  3. 3. What would a diagram for this text need to show?
2.Read the text, then answer the questions.

Owls

Owls hunt at night. Their eyes are very large, so they can see when there is almost no light. An owl's feathers have soft edges. This makes their wings quiet. A mouse cannot hear an owl coming. Owls cannot move their eyes from side to side. Instead, they turn their whole head. An owl can turn its head much further than you can.

  1. 1. Why are an owl's eyes very large?
  2. 2. When do owls hunt?
  3. 3. What would a diagram of an owl need to label?
