Making Models of Trees in our local habitatsEngage:
Name different kinds of trees that you know and have seen in our community. What kinds of trees do we not see in our community? Why do you think we don't see these trees? Explore: Leaf scavenger hunt or bring in leaves from your local area. Explain: Show pictures of different ecosystems. What do you notice? What is the climate like there? What kinds of plants/trees grow there? What are the characteristics of the plants/trees? Are they similar/different in ecosystems? Elaborate: Groups get assigned/choose and ecosystem to build research and a model of and create a diorama of your ecosystem incorporating the kinds of trees there. Evaluate: Share the models and discuss the pros and cons of planting one kind of tree in our schoolyard. *This can be the start of a model of an ecosystem that can be built up during the year by adding animals and other organisms.
