Science of Massachusetts: Rooted in Science: Trees! (K-2)

Contact Us

Trees provide much more than shade or pretty additions to city streets and neighborhood parks. In this unit, students will answer the question: How do trees and other living things depend on each other? Students will explore habitats, adaptations, and life cycles, with trees as a unifying theme. With accessibility to all learners as a priority, lessons highlight the diversity of trees across various Massachusetts habitats, including suburban, urban and rural areas.
