A tree consists of a trunk, crown and roots.

The crown of a tree, in turn, consists of branches and leaves. This is the upper part of the tree, which is the branch from the trunk to the highest point of the tree. Crowns come in different shapes and densities.

The tree trunk is the basis for the crown. The outside is covered with a layer of bark.

Tree roots are a special part of the tree that connects to the trunk and is located underground. The main purpose of the roots of a tree is to absorb all the necessary substances and transfer them to the trunk.

With these cards you can tell your child that trees are divided into:

  • conifers are pines, spruces, fir, larches, etc. (they have coniferous leaves in the form of needles),
  • broad-leaved - beech, birch, ash, maple, etc. (they have wide and flat leaves).

In addition, according to the lifespan of leaves, trees are also divided into:

  • evergreen (i.e. those trees that remain green all year round, for example, a Christmas tree),

Trees are also divided into:

  • fruit trees are those trees that grow in our gardens (for example, apple, cherry, plum)
  • valuable trees are those whose wood is used in production
  • ship trees are those trees whose wood is used in shipbuilding,

Dear Teachers!

I offer you didactic material for classes. Let's pose Let's introduce children to various trees.

In a brief description of each tree, you can find out their features, what they look like, where they grow, age, and interesting facts about the tree.

A story about Birch:

This is a birch tree. She has a white, thin, slender trunk. The branches have round leaves. The birch tree feeds with the help of its roots. Birch is a large deciduous tree. Most often it grows in the forest. In the city, people plant birch trees to make the air clean. Various crafts are made from birch bark. In spring, buds appear on the birch tree and turn into leaves. The birch tree remains green all summer. In autumn the leaves turn yellow and fall off. In winter, bare branches are covered with snow.
