Throughout the year we will be studying the seasonal cycle of the tree. Our first observation was observing a tree during the fall season. We will be observing a tree that we can see from our classroom window. The second graders loved being scientists to record their observations using their magnifying glasses. Each season we will observe and record our observations of our tree, noting how the tree changes each season.
Massachusetts Science
and Technology/Engineering Curriculum Frameworks
- Recognize that plants and animals have life cycles, and that life cycles vary for different living things.
- Recognize changes in appearance that animals and
plants go through as the seasons change.
- Name and use simple equipment and tools (e.g.,
rulers, meter sticks, thermometers, hand lenses, and balances) to gather data
and extend the senses
- Record observations and data with pictures,
numbers, or written statements.
- Discuss observations with others.
