Make seed dispersal visual, hands-on and easy to differentiate with this real-photo Seed Dispersal Card Sort for KS2–KS3 science.
Students work with 24 real-photo examples as they explore five methods of seed dispersal: wind, water, animals, fire and explosive dispersal.
With four card options, three sorting options, category labels, answer keys and full-colour and printer-friendly black-and-white versions, this low-prep activity can be adapted for science centres, partner work, independent practice, review or assessment.

The different card sizes and formats make it easy to choose the setup that best suits your pupils. Larger cards work well for table, floor or collaborative sorting, while the smaller formats are useful for notebooks and individual work.
Differentiate With Ease
Use the same set of cards at several levels of challenge.
Beginning: Sort examples as Wind or Animals.
Developing: Sort examples as Wind, Water or Animals.
Advanced: Classify all 24 examples using all five dispersal methods – Wind, Water, Animals, Fire and Explosion.
Captioned cards provide additional vocabulary support, while uncaptioned cards add challenge.
Why You’ll Love This Resource
Students use real photographs to observe, compare and classify examples of seed dispersal rather than simply memorising vocabulary.
The combination of multiple card sizes, captioned and uncaptioned options, several sorting levels and colour/black-and-white versions makes this a flexible resource that can be reused in different classroom settings and with pupils working at different levels.
Ideal for KS2–KS3 plant science, classification, adaptations and seed dispersal topics.
