Researchers believe they have found the oldest tree in the world--a spruce in Sweden that has been alive for about 9,500 years. Even dead and decaying trees and stumps are often teeming with life! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Young nature enthusiasts will learn these and many other fascinating facts about the wonderful world of trees in \u003ci\u003eTreecology\u003c\/i\u003e. This fun and interactive resource includes plentiful full-color photos and drawings and clear, kid-friendly discussions of tree structures, families, and foods; the interaction between trees and the wildlife that depend on them; tree and forest-related jobs and preservation, and much more. With encouragement to \"Try This,\" \"Look For,\" and \"Listen For,\" kids participate in 30 hands-on activities that promote observation and analysis, writing and drawing, math and science, and nature literacy skills. They will measure the circumference of a tree trunk, press and preserve leaves, study the textures of tree bark, find evidence of forest creatures, record their findings in a decorated forest logbook, and more. Readers from any region will start to take notice of the trees around them--not just in forests and woods but also around the schools, parks, buildings, and sidewalks of their town, and in their own backyards. Useful resources include a glossary of \"tree terms,\" common and scientific names, a list of tree and nature organizations and groups, and a teacher's guide to initiate classroom discussion and investigation.","brand":"Chicago Review Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45088046612631,"sku":"9781613733967","price":1336.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781613733967.webp?v=1767143135","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/treecology-30-activities-and-observations-for-exploring-the-world-of-trees-and-forests-9781613733967","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
