Growing Together: Open Forum

My 2nd grade teacher at school describes her Plant and Animal unit this way and I've been racking my head trying to figure out a good hands-on activity to help her achieve the learning she wants for her students. Maybe you have some ideas?:

"In the science unit they are going to learn that plants need animals to disperse their seeds or pollinate the flowers.  Then they learn that animals depend on plants for food and habitats. I also want them to understand that in nature plants reproduced without needing a human.  Every year they have the misconception that a human is planting chalta seeds in the jungle to make new chalta trees."

 *I do have a good stock of acorns at my disposal if this could help at all and I've collected some tree seeds that twirl when they fall from a high place. 

(In this case, is it just a matter of a garden talk that highlights how birds fly and carry acornsseeds all over or the wind moves seeds to nearby places-and then let the kids explore, touch, draw the seeds? Or maybe they walk around the garden  and identify what's been planted by humans and what's exists thanks to Nature & how did those seeds get there + drawing in their nature journals??   I'm thinking out loud here.)
