skeletal small smooth stomach
You use your muscles to pick up an apple and

take a bite. When you swallow the bite of apple, it heads down

your and into the acidic storage of your

. There, muscles hold onto

your food until it’s ready to be moved on in the digestion

process. The apple’s next stop is your intestine,

where the apple gets broken down into tiny pieces for transport

to your blood. Your adds enzymes and the

apple-blood goes through your where poison

and waste are filtered out. The clean blood is sent to your

for oxygen. The unused portion of the apple heads

to your intestine and then out of the body.

Tree Observation
Sit quietly near your tree. Take notes on your observations.

Looking
What living things do you see in and near
your tree?

Listening
Do you hear animals playing or singing in
the tree? Do you hear wind moving leaves
or branches?
Draw the tree. Use a tape measure to
record the measurement around the
tree.
Make a rubbing of the bark. Touching
Is the bark smooth or rough? Are the leaves
soft or prickly?

Make a rubbing or trace a leaf. Smelling

What does the bark smell like? The leaves?
Are there flowers on the tree?

What season is it now? Any other observations?

Has the tree changed since the previous
season?
What kind of tree are you observing?
