Hook - Let's get motivated!
What question will you need to ask to investigate?
🪂 Hook: “Mission: Save the Seeds!”
“Attention Capten Gŵyr Explorers! The Great Gower Forest is in trouble. The trees are growing too close together, and their seeds are struggling to survive. Your mission? Design the ultimate flying seed! It must spin, glide, and travel far from the tree to give it the best chance to grow.”
“But not all seeds are the same... Some are big, some are small. Some fall fast, others spin slowly. Which design will help your seed survive?”
🎯 “Can you investigate how changing the size of a seed changes how it falls — and decide which one is best for nature?”
