Exploring Nature
Now is the time to take a walk outside and enjoy the seasonal warming of the earth, otherwise known as SPRING! Students may know what larger animals, such as bears, birds and deer, do in spring, but what do smaller creatures like bugs, spiders, and worms do? Use “Microtek Treasure Hunt” from Project WILD as an avenue to explore these little creatures!
Use the following activities to continue your exploration!
Project Learning Tree
Trees as Habitats
The Fallen Log
Nature’s Recyclers

Tree Factory
Have you ever heard of a photosynthesis lesson that your students will want to do again and again? PLT’s “Tree Factory” is a fun activity that allows students to act out parts of a tree while learning about its structure and function. Try one of these variations* after your students have done the activity once or twice.
Have more than 30 students, or want to do this activity during a school or grade outing? Incorporate animals that live on or use trees, such as ants, birds, raccoons, squirrels, deer, etc. The list is endless!
For older students, ask them to name some area factories. What do they produce? What do factories use to make their product? Do they release anything in the air? What do trees produce? (sugar for the tree) What do trees use to make their product? (carbon dioxide and water) What do trees release in the air? (oxygen) What are the similarities between a tree and a factory?
A fun way to end this activity is to pretend a strong wind blows the tree down.
*The activity lists eight additional variations. Don’t forget to try those as well!

How Plants Grow
There’s no need to wait until snow melts and warmer weather comes to see some “spring green”! Project Learning Tree’s activity “How Plants Grow” is a great way to encourage positive thinking AND discuss how plants grow. As an extension to this activity, invite a local greenhouse owner to talk about how he/she grows plants for sale, or an area gardener on how and why they grow plants. A field trip to a nursery or area garden is a great way for students to see how plants grow outside of a controlled experiment. Don’t have the funds for a field trip? Take your students on a tour of your school’s grounds to look for evidence of plant growth.
Start an outdoor classroom at your school. Apply for a grant from the Living Roadway Trust Fund.
