Task
The task that I have given to you, scientists, is to learn about the five different parts of a tree. You will also need to know what each part does to help the tree survive. The five parts of the tree you will explore are:
Roots
Trunk
Bark
Branches
Leaves
Please draw your own tree and label each part as you complete the exploration. Don't forget to write what each part does!!!
