Seeds to Trees
Description
From seed to sapling to shade, trees change through the seasons and the years. Through live outdoor visuals explore life stages and parts of a tree. Students will learn trees are a living thing, providing much to the world; mimic the lifecycle through movement; and create a tree through a guided project that can be expanded on afterwards. Program concludes with a virtual question and answer with a naturalist and an animal ambassador that uses trees. Missouri Learning Standards: K.PS1.A.1, K.LS1.C.1, K.ESS1.B.1, K.ESS2.E.1
