Tree Lifecycle
TSWBAT
1.
Science Journal Entry:
1.Explain
what you think this means and is :
2.
CO2
+ H2O --->C6H12O6 + O2
* Does this equation follow the law: Atoms cannot be created or
destroyed- if not do something about it!
2.
Act out the lifecycle of a
tree to better understand the birth, growth, development, reproductions, and
then eventual death and decomposition starts the lifecycle again
3.
Demonstrate the needs of
trees/ plants and how competition alters how much of the necessities for life
are available (Water, Sun, CO2)
