Tree Seeds
September 12, 2026
Science Oxford Centre
Nature Club
Families, Ages 5-9
Explore the changing seasons from seed to tree at our autumnal Nature Club for ages 5-9. Walk outside in the woodland and learn how plants prepare for winter by dropping seeds, pods, and nuts. Collect seeds of all shapes and sizes, from conkers to acorns or pine cones; compare your finds – are they shiny, smooth or prickly? Play ‘Seed Snap’ and match and identify the different tree species! Make a winged paper Sycamore-spinner, and experiment to see how far ‘helicopter seeds’ can fly from their tree to germinate. Create a colourful autumn display of seed-based art to take home.
