About it
A pinecone is the part of a pine tree that holds its seeds. Its woody scales are arranged in spirals, and under each one sit seeds with thin wings. In dry weather the scales open so the seeds can fall out and spin away on the wind; in wet weather they close up tight again.
Tap it and the cone opens as it does on a dry day, and winged seeds spin down like little propellers. Then the scales facing you break off one after another from the bottom up and tumble into a pile, showing the core. Then they fly back up into place and the cone closes. With ✋ Hands-on on, pull the scales off one by one; each snaps off at its root and drops; reset puts them back.
