| Title: |
TIMBER!
From Trees to Wood Products |
| Description of Resource: |
What
do baseball bats, canoes, chairs, fences, stationary, toilet paper,
and violins all have in common? All these things and many
more are made from wood! TIMBER! is the story of how
people and machines turn trees into the materials that make
up so many of the objects we see and use in our daily lives. It
is a fascinating and exciting story following a logger from the
forest selecting a tree to cut, the machines that take the logs
to the mill and how a tree is converted to paper and wood products. |
