Nature Anatomy is one of our FAVORITE nature books! It has gorgeous illustrations for many areas of nature as well as easy-to-read pages with facts and details that kids, teens and adults will enjoy. It’s the perfect book if you’re doing a tree unit study or identification activity. The Tree Book: For Kids & Their Grown-ups is a look at all types of trees along with the leaf, seed and flower for each one.
If you’re looking for some great books to pair with this activity, a few of our favorites include: Be sure that you keep the leaves & seeds together Seeds might include small items such as ‘helicopters’ or larger items like acrons or pinecones. This can be a great opportunity to have kids help with set-up.įor each tree, find a few leaves and any seeds to put in the jar or bottle.

We used a few of both types (glass & plastic) just to look at the differences in how water worked in each. You’ll need to collect a few items to do the tree scavenger hunt along with the science experiment for magnifying leaves & seeds: Items for the Tree Scavenger Hunt & Science Activity
