Understanding the hard fight
for life, playing a game.
Every plant
(or animal)
has to fight
for surviving!
Roberta Conti
A lot of seeds, but a lot of
enemies too!
Roberta Conti
Only few
seeds will
bud in new
plants.
Roberta Conti
If the seeds fall down in the
flower bed, they find soon
who will stop their
development.
Roberta Conti
The seeds that fall in the
pond become fishes and
birds food.
Roberta Conti
Who take care
of the garden
pulls up every
unexpected
bud.
Roberta Conti
The unluky
seed that falls
down on the
asphalt can’t
bud, of
course, and
dies.
Roberta Conti
At last there is a place for
everyone!
In the not
cultivated field
every seed can
develop….if an
animal doesn’t
eat it,
obviously!!
Roberta Conti
We need:
 Game
table;
 A paper tree;
 The paper seeds (25);
 A dice.

Roberta Conti
1) Put the tree in the middle
of the “lands”
Roberta Conti
2) Place the seeds on
the top of the tree.
Roberta Conti
3) Blow on the seeds, so
they will fall down.
Roberta Conti
4)Take away every seed that
isn’t in the not cultivated
field (asphalt, garden,
flower bed, pond) and count
them.
Roberta Conti
5) For every seed that
is in the not cultivated
field throw the dice
and if you obtain:
• 1 – the seed dies because of an herbicide;
• 2 – the seed dies because of drought;
• 3 – the seed survives because of the warm and
wet wheater;
• 4 – the seed dies because of ice;
• 5 - the seed survives because a child take care
of it;
• 6 – the seed becomes food for a mouse and die.
Roberta Conti
Now, play more three times
being carefull to
blowing on the seeds
from different
directions to do not create
advantages to the various
environments.
At the end you will have
played with 100 seeds.
Roberta Conti
With the collected datas you
can build a graph like this one
to show the results in
percentage:
“Only few
seeds
survive!”
