To the left is an AMAZING RESOURCE FOR LEARNING ABOUT TREES. Ontario educators have assembled it. Lots of worksheets, ideas and information.
See also to left (a little down) find a sample of a worksheet from their website: great for formative and summative assessment. From their website: "Teaching Resources From planting trees to planting ideas! The 10,000 Trees Project has evolved from a grass roots tree planting group to an organization focused on educating citizens, young and old, on the importance, understanding and methodology of reforestation. On this site you will find free, downloadable curriculum, written by Ontario educators for grades 3 and 4. Each lesson builds upon the other to create a memorable and effective teaching vehicle for students to learn and appreciate the value of planting trees as a tool for social action, as well as environmental sustainability."

Amazingly, the oldest tree in the world, at approximately 13,000 years old, is the Jurupa Oak tree in California. Trees are quite complex and have distinct parts that serve very specific functions for the well-being of the tree itself. Overall, a tree is made up of roots, a trunk, and a crown.See Transcript"
