Peer reviewedBisbee, Gregory D.; Kaiser, Cheryl A. – American Biology Teacher, 1997
Describes an activity that integrates biology and physics concepts by experimenting with the seed dispersal of common milkweed or similar wind-dispersed seeds. Student teams collect seeds and measure several parameters, review principles of trajectory motion, perform experiments, and graph data. Students examine the ideas of…
