We suggest students work in pairs. Homeschool students can work on their own.
Seed A (pompom) is distributed in Step 7 and Seed B (bean) is distributed in Step 14.
Make sure students have space to hop up and down in place when doing fluffadoo + seed model tests.
Seed A should stay on the fluffadoo the longest. Oftentimes, it can stay attached until the maximum of 15 hops. Seed B should fall off of the fluffadoo almost immediately- usually within 1 or 2 hops.
If Seed A is consistently falling off of a student's fluffadoo within a few hops, we suggest checking: (1) the pompom is being placed where multiple cotton balls touch (rather than on top of a single cotton ball) and (2) the student is “hopping gently” and not shaking their fluffadoo too hard while hopping.
Instead of hopping in place, students can test their fluffadoo + seed by raising and lowering their arms while seated (mimicking the motion of a hopping fluffadoo).
Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem.
Develop a simple model that mimics the function of an animal in dispersing seeds or pollinating plants.
