Description

Make learning about trees awesome and memorable (for kids) and keep it simple and organized (for you)! Win-win!

ALL THE INTERESTING DETAILS

____________________________

This resource is a PDF file that can be printed and made into a packet for each of your students. An answer key and teaching tips are included for you, along with examples and directions for what to include on each page.

It also includes a link to the Google Slides Edition of this resource (compatible with any device and packed full of coordinating video clips and slides that make teaching these lessons a breeze! More details below.).

I like to work through the packet by doing one page a day together. Each page poses a question for kids that they'll answer. Check out the preview for a complete look at the table of contents and details about each page:

What do you know about trees?

What do trees need?

What shape are trees?

What are the parts of a tree?

What comes from a tree?

What does a tree look like in different seasons?

What do you know about leaves?

What shapes do leaves have?

How can we sort leaves?

PLUS... you also get:

⭐️ 19 totally teacher-approved, easy-to-view YouTube video clips (most are about 1-3 min- perfect for little attention spans) that make what your students learned about each day COME TO LIFE! Learn about trees and then SEE them up close and personal (without having to spend your precious teacher time surfing the internet for clips that are appropriate and interesting- been there, done that, and I gotcha covered! There are SO MANY AMAZING vids linked here!).

By the end of the 9 days, your little learners will feel like tree experts!

If you teach FOSS science, this can totally go with your unit (I do Foss, but I'm using this)! It's not a lesson-for-lesson match, but it's my more concise, less-repetitive spin on studying trees!

If you dig this concept, I have similar packets about 10 different zoo animals (they are jam-packed with fascinating info and have a strong emphasis on giving kids authentic opportunities to practice their literacy skills) - check them out! HERE: Zoo Animal Research Bundle!

Thanks for stopping by! ENJOY this resource, follow my store if you ❤️ it, and have a beautiful school year!

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
NGSSK-ESS3-1
Use a model to represent the relationship between the needs of different plants or animals (including humans) and the places they live. Examples of relationships could include that deer eat buds and leaves, therefore, they usually live in forested areas; and, grasses need sunlight so they often grow in meadows. Plants, animals, and their surroundings make up a system.
NGSS2-LS4-1
Make observations of plants and animals to compare the diversity of life in different habitats. Emphasis is on the diversity of living things in each of a variety of different habitats. Assessment does not include specific animal and plant names in specific habitats.
NGSSK-ESS2-2
Construct an argument supported by evidence for how plants and animals (including humans) can change the environment to meet their needs. Examples of plants and animals changing their environment could include a squirrel digs in the ground to hide its food and tree roots can break concrete.
NGSS2-LS2-1
Plan and conduct an investigation to determine if plants need sunlight and water to grow. Assessment is limited to testing one variable at a time.
