🌳🕵️♂️🌲
Our 4th and 5th graders recently stepped into the shoes of plant scientists in a hands-on activity called Tree Detective!
Students investigated the internal and external parts of trees to collect evidence that these structures work together as a system to help plants survive in specific environments. Using models of roots and branches, they explored how each part functions—from absorbing water to supporting growth.
To top it off, our young scientists constructed arguments about how these structures team up to help trees thrive in one of the toughest habitats on Earth: the frozen taiga! ❄️🌲
