Worksheet Description

This Arbor Day worksheet, titled “Things that Come from Trees,” is an interactive tool designed to make students aware of the various products derived from trees. It lists categories such as “Wood,” “Sap,” “Leaves,” “Bark,” “Pulp,” and “Other,” and prompts students to think of at least one item that is made from each tree product. This task encourages students to look around their home and classroom to identify items and understand their connection to trees.

The activity is aimed at enhancing students’ appreciation for trees by recognizing their extensive role in daily life beyond the ecological benefits. By identifying the practical uses of tree materials, students can develop a greater sense of environmental stewardship. The worksheet also fosters critical thinking and observation skills, as students must consider not only obvious tree products but also more indirect uses that they may not immediately recognize. This makes the worksheet an excellent educational resource for Arbor Day, helping to deepen students’ understanding of the importance of trees in both nature and human society.
