Inspire young environmentalists with Trees: Science & Stewardship, a complete K–1 environmental science unit designed to build both scientific understanding and a sense of responsibility toward the natural world.
This thoughtfully structured resource explores the science of trees while guiding students toward environmental stewardship through meaningful discussion, movement, hands-on learning, and real-world connections.
Parts of a Tree
Food from Trees
Animals That Live In & On Trees
Life Cycle of a Tree
What Trees Give Us
Protecting & Conserving Trees
Through interactive presentation slides, guided classroom conversations, and engaging print-and-go activities, students deepen their understanding of how trees support ecosystems and human life.
Learners label diagrams, create a life cycle wheel, participate in a classroom scavenger hunt, explore tree textures through a sensory “touch and talk” activity, and even take part in a guided nature walk. Students design a reusable water bottle and complete a Tree Protection Pledge, reinforcing real-world environmental responsibility. Tree-themed yoga poses add a movement-based connection to scientific concepts.
Each lesson includes:
Ready-to-teach slides
Self-guided and guided practice activities
Teacher framing language and discussion prompts
Built-in ELL support strategies
Optional read-aloud suggestions
No prep required — just print, open the slides, and teach.
Plant structure and life cycles
Ecosystem relationships
Environmental conservation
Observation and recording
Academic vocabulary
Speaking & listening
SEL connections to responsibility and care
