Where
Are All the Trees? A Minnesota Primer and Discovery Guide |
| Description of Resource: |
A
series of activities provide opportunities to experience, explore,
and expand knowledge about trees. Within each subject area, activities
are grouped primary, intermediate, and advanced to correspond with
grade levels K-9. Subjects contained in this curriculum begin with
What is a tree?, Different Kinds of Trees, What is a forest?, Minnesota
Trees, and People and Trees Living Together. Each subject unit is
followed by several hands-on activities from building a human tree,
going on a scavenger hunt, recipe for a forest, taking a walk in
the woods, and building a city park or forest. In addition, each
subject contains songs, games and a bibliography for additional
resources.
The Minnesota Primer is designed to provide the user with a sense
of the potential of Minnesota Forest, and introduce a forest as
a renewable resource. The introduction contains information on
Why Trees? Each subsequent chapter covers topics such as tree
anatomy, forest and the food web, history of Minnesota forests,
people and Minnesota forests, and current uses of Minnesota forests.
In addition, the book contains "fun facts!" throughout with information
about Minnesota forests.
