TreesTo day I want you to learn about some basic

trees. Teacher Brady Southpaw

This is one type of conifer, called a pine tree. You can see the wide branching and the rough bark (see the next slide for close-up).

See the rough bark.

See how spiky they are. (If you throw them in a fire they pop!)

This is a maple.Remember on the pine tree branches were spread out; on this tree they go out a little then up.

Maple bark

This bark is smoother then a pine tree but still rough.

Can you see how many leaves there are and how thin the branches are?

This is a cedar

Can you tell that it is a up- side down V shape?

See how the bark is coming off the tree? Does it look smoother or rougher?

See how bushy it is, and how spiky it is

The challenge for the day.To bring back information about some trees
