This week, Division 6 inquired about trees. We learned two ways that we can group trees, as evergreen or broadleaf. We explored the importance of species diversity and focused our learning on one very important native evergreen, the Douglas Fir. Outside, we looked for clues to figure out which trees were Douglas Firs, and looked closely at the different parts of a tree to identify them. We looked at leaves, buds and cones, and even found a worm that had made a home inside a cone! Today, we came up with 247 new wonders about trees! What a fantastic week.
