About Trees
Trees are essential and greatly impact our daily lives. Youth will learn new facts about the trees they see around them. Activities are both great for days in the classroom or to take along on an outdoor exploration on a sunny day to learn:
- How water moves through a tree
- Parts of a tree
- What items come from trees?
- Four seasons of a tree
- Where do leaf colors come from?
