About Trees
A tree grows in two directions at once: roots pull water and minerals from the soil while the canopy converts sunlight into sugar. Each year of that work leaves a ring in the trunk, so a stump records droughts and good seasons alike. Bark shields the living tissue underneath. Some trees, like oaks, drop acorns; pines carry seeds in cones instead. Coast redwoods and giant sequoias rank among the tallest and largest living things on Earth.
Reach for this during a unit on plant life cycles or forests, or after a walk spent naming the trees along the street.
