Every Tree for Itself
This fun and active modeling simulation reviews the conditions that trees need to live and grow, while also demonstrating that trees must compete to meet their needs.
Plant Growth
Here We Grow Again
A plant is a biological system that needs sunlight, water, air, nutrients, and space in order to survive and thrive. Students conduct inquiry-based experiments to explore these essential plant requirements.
Have Seeds, Will Travel
A plant is a biological system containing processes and components that enable it to grow and reproduce. By observing, collecting, and classifying seeds, students examine one aspect of a plant’s reproductive system.
Bursting Buds
In early spring, many trees sprout bright green leaves. Where do the leaves come from? How do they form? Students investigate these questions by observing tree buds throughout the year.
A Tree’s Life
Students discover that trees have life stages that are similar to those of other living things. They discuss a tree’s role in the ecosystem at each stage of its life.
Learn About Forests: Plant a Tree
This Learn About Forest activity is perfect for forest sector professionals leading educational events, career days, or field visits with youth. Learners identify benefits we receive from trees and participate in a tree-planting event.
