Out on a Limb: Investigating the Anatomy of Tree Limbs
Shaw, Edward L.
Science Activities: Classroom Projects and Curriculum Ideas, v45 n2 p3-6 Sum 2008
The author presents several upper elementary science activities involving tree limbs that were collected after severe weather conditions. The activities involved 3rd-grade students arranging tree limb pieces in the correct order from the trunk to the tip of the limb, measuring the pieces, determining the age of a tree limb by its rings, identifying factors that affect the number and size of the rings, and drawing specific parts of tree limbs as an assessment. (Contains 1 table.)
