| Science |
This half term we will be looking at different types of trees. The scientific skills we will be working on are, identifying and categorising. Firstly, think about what these two words mean. Research or find their meaning and think about how you may do this when looking at trees. Then begin exploring!
1. Choose 5 different tree leaves including the stems. With an adults help, carefully take a picture of the stem/branch with the leaf attached. Make sure this is done without damaging the tree (if you don’t have access to a camera maybe make notes to help you classify the leaf).
2. On a separate piece of paper, draw the leaf and stem then identify and include any characteristics using Science sheet 1 (printable resources) to help you (stalk/no stalk, simple/compound, entire/wavy/toothed/lobed, opposite/alternate/whorled). We will be using these characteristics to categorise trees later in the unit.
3. Can you use the tree identification sheets (printable resources) to help you work out the name of the trees you selected your leaves from?
4. Write 10 questions about your leaf drawings that a member of your family can answer using sheet 1 to help them. For example: Do the leaves have stalks? Does the tree have simple or compound leaves?
Remember to wash your hands before and after touching any leaves!

Have a think about how your life would be different if we didn't have the internet at all! You can either write your thoughts down, or have a discussion with your family about it. I look forward to hearing your thoughts when we are back in school. Enjoy! Mrs Fraser |
