  2. Nature’s Treasure Chest – The Tree Through research and advances in technology, we have learned to convert tree fibers and paper pulping residues into a wealth of products. In fact, there are more than 5,000 wood and paper products that we use and enjoy each day.

  11. Things to do as a Class Cut out magazine pictures of products made from trees. Collect pictures that fir equally into the categories: wood products, food products, and paper products. Put up three large pieces of paper with a label (paper, wood, food). Have each student pick a picture and put it where they think it belongs. After everyone has put their picture under a label, discuss what is in each category. Make new paper from old , used paper. This is a messy project and it takes time, but well worth the effort. Make a treasure tree for the classroom. Bring in a dead tree limb with lots of branches. Have the students decorate the limb (prop it up in a large coffee can or bucket filled with sand) with pictures of tree products or small actual products , such as pencils, nuts, fruit, cellophane, etc. Tape a picture of a tree product to each students back. Tell students they must figure out the product on their back by asking each other “yes” or “no” questions. For example, “Is this product used in our school?”.

  12. Assessment Opportunity • Have students find the following at school or at home: • Two things derived from the gum of trees, • Two things made directly from wood, • Two things made from tree resin, • Two things derived from fruits and nuts of trees, • Two things extracted from the leaves or bark of trees, and • Two things derived from cellulose.
