In this interactive activity adapted from the National Arbor Day Foundation, explore the intricate life of a tree. The trunk of a tree functions as both a supporting structure and a pathway, transporting food down from the photosynthesizing leaves an...d conducting water and minerals up from the roots. Look inside a tree to learn about the xylem, cambium, and phloem, and to see how the tree's rings provide a record of the environmental factors that affected its growth and life cycle.

Did you ever wonder what tumbleweeds are? Let's make sense of it with science! To learn what tumbleweeds are, let's head out to where the tumbleweed's really roll. This video explains that tumbleweeds are annual plants and grow in the spring and summ...er. Then fall comes. The plant and tap root dry up. The plant snaps away from the tap root and the plant tumbles its way around and scatters its seeds. A variety of pictures are shown as well as auditory/written content. This would be a great resource for a lesson/unit on cowboys, plants, life cycles, etc. and would work well in conjunction with reading non-fiction/fiction texts on these subjects. This would certainly help to build background knowledge for students. (1:48)

In this video, students will learn that pollination is very important and leads to the creation of new seeds that grow into new plants. The diagrams are very good and descriptive. Some vocabulary words include stamen, pistil, pollen, stigma, ovule, s...elf-pollination, and cross-pollination. This is a great resource to introduce pollination and would work well in conjunction with non-fiction texts on this topic. (5:29)
