Tree Unit Study Resources, including educational tree videos, books about trees, tree identification projects, and other tree unit study ideas.

I have to admit it. It’s a silly thing, but when I was super young (think preschool age) I was scared of trees. I didn’t like the way they blew in the wind. I am not sure why I am telling you this other than it’s kind of funny and sort of on topic. I now love trees. I think they are fascinating and who doesn’t love the history we can find in them by looking at the rings in the trunk?  If you are doing a study unit on trees for elementary age kids, you may be wondering how to put it together. I scoured the great web to find you some great ideas so you can put together a rockin’ tree unit study resources list. Let’s get started!

Tree Unit Study Resources

Tree Lesson Plan Ideas

The Penn State Natural/Forestry department has a great set of tree lesson plans for 6-8 graders that could be great for kinds slightly younger as well that involve many forestry lessons about trees.

Homeschool Share has a great tree unit study resource list for putting together your own unit study based on lower elementary age students.

Tree Lapbooks and Printables

This Tree and Leaf Lapbook from His Mercy is New is pretty good for either a tree or leaf unit study and is aimed at younger elementary.

While not free, this Plants and Trees Nature study Notebook Pages set from Notebooking Pages is really great for creating a unit study for all ages.

Tree Crafts, Projects and Tutorials

One great way to show your kids more about trees is to plant one. Here are some tips on how to successfully plant a tree.

This Tree Scavenger Hunt from A Seasoned Mom is aimed at preschoolers, but I really think it could be built upon for older kids. You could do a more in-depth scavenger hunt or study certain aspects of trees at an arboretum in your area, perhaps?

Tree Videos and Clips

Watch Know Learn has a page filled with Educational Tree Videos and clips with everything from early elementary songs to why leaves change colors on trees in the fall.

This Importance of Trees video from Wordsmith1 via YouTube talks about how important trees are for all of us. This is perfect for older kids.

Do Trees Communicate? This video shows evidence that they do.

Additional Tree Resources

The Arbor Day’s Media Page is a great resource for tree conservation information as well as “fast facts” and how to connect with them on the blog.

Trees Are Good is another great resource for finding out more information on trees so you can dd it to your personal unit study lesson.

Books about Trees

Trees: A Visual Guide by Tony Rodd

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
