Fifth graders plan and conduct investigations to identify and record tree species. They complete Forest Plotter and write about tree species found and draw pictures of them.

Students examine tree identification keys to identify maple trees for sap tapping. They interpret tree identification keys and mark maples that can be used for sap harvesting. They take digital pictures of the trees they identify.

Third graders review the characteristics of living and nonliving organisms. As a class, they observe a tree and describe the interactions between the living and nonliving organisms surrounding it. To end the lesson, they ask a question...

In this adopt-a-tree certificate worksheet, students choose a tree and complete 3 observation questions as well as conduct some height and circumference calculations.

Eighth graders learn about the life of a tree. In this tree growth lesson plan, 8th graders discuss and dramatize the life of a tree from seed to trunk. There are no

Tenth graders differentiate angiosperms and gymnosperms. For this biology lesson, 10th graders construct a musical phylogenetic tree from information they gathered on resource websites. They present their project in class.

Students take a field trip to an old Christmas tree farm near their school. In groups, they gather data at the site and analyze the data in an attempt to discover what happened to the area. They identify human activities that led to the...
