Monday, December 8, 2008 - Tree Study
We are studying trees this term. So far, we are just studying them in general and not any variety in depth. At first I thought that studying trees going into the winter season wasn't excatly the best idea but we are still learning much about trees.
"To understand how firm a base the roots form to hold up the tall trunk, we need to see an unrooted tree." (Handbook of Nature Study)
On our nature walk last week we looked specifically for roots. We found a few fallen over trees to examine. Cameron found a great tree by the creek. Parts of the bank were washed away and we could see a lot of roots.
And then my camera batteries died. Newly charged batteries took TWO pictures. I was so dissappointed.
