Teaching Through Trade Books: Talking Trees

Science and Children -- February 2005

Students love outdoor activities and will love them even more when they build confidence in their tree identification and measurement skills. The activities in this month's Teaching Through Trade Books column help students learn to identify the major characteristics of trees and discover how the pace—a nonstandard measuring unit—can be used to estimate not only distances but also the height of a tree.
