Amplify Science in Action: hands-on investigations (K–5)
As part of Amplify Science’s Animal and Plant Relationships unit, students take on the role of plant scientists to figure out why there are no new chalta trees growing in the Bengal Tiger Reserve in India. In this video featuring Lesson 3.2, second-grade students from Chicago Public Schools are engaging with a hands-on model in which they simulate animal dispersal of seeds, measure how many seeds were dispersed to places where the seeds are likely to grow, and analyze their results.
