Tree Houses: Look Who’s Living in the Trees!

Hang out…in the trees! Stomp on the Forest Sound Dance Floor to make woodpecker tapping sounds and turkey gobbles! Turn a tree into a house—and back again—using a Spin Browser! Be a responsible forester—learn about sustainable logging. Design and build a model treehouse. Be an animal tracker as you hunt for signs left by bear, raccoon and skunk!

Learning goals:

Trees provide habitats for many different animals.

Animals have adapted to life in the trees.

Animals leave identifiable traces behind, such as footprints, scratch marks and scat!

Trees are used to make many different products in our lives: houses, drinks, and foods such as nuts, fruit and chocolate!

We can be good environmental stewards by planting trees and logging sustainably.

Trees sustain life on Earth.
