Students investigate the growth of trees. In this tree growth lesson, students discover that trees make a ring each year they live. Students use new voabulary such as bark, phloem, and cambuim to talk about tree parts. Students create a...

Students research and examine trees indigenous to Florida. They develop a table/chart, draw leaves, design a map of Florida, and prepare and give oral presentations discussing the presence or absence of tree growth patterns.

Ninth graders gather samples of different tree leaves in their neighborhoods, and on school grounds, and identify several species of common South Carolina trees using leaf and growth characteristics with aid of dichotomous key.

Students examine samples from various types of trees. In this trees and wood lesson plan, students review The Giving Tree and complete a KWL chart on trees.  Students brainstorm what we get from trees and view wood samples with...

Young scholars examine trees and discuss how the environment effected the tree. They also predict what the area look like in fifty years.

Third graders draw leaves. In this tree and leaf identification lesson, 3rd graders find 4 or 5 trees that are on their home property and collect samples from them. Students work in groups to identify the leaves and compare those answers...
