Here is a video on youtube on trees and the different parts of them. This can be used as a fun introduction to students to encourage them to get excited and ready to learn. It's also a good option to be inclusive of all learners.
Here's the lyrics if you want to copy, print, and distribute it to your students. Several of the the lyrics also display as the song goes on.
Trees, trees, trees, Have roots, and trunks, and leaves,
Trees, trees, trees, Have buds, and fruits, and seeds,
Trees, trees, trees, A home for birds and bees,
We all need our trees, trees, trees...
Home for nests of flying birds, Home for buzzing, honey-bees,
Home for bats so brown and black, Some squirrels share those big tall trees...
Shades a slithering sharp-toothed snake, Big bugs that blow there in the breeze,
Many things are making homes, In green, green leaves of these tall trees!
Trees, trees, trees, Have roots, and trunks, and leaves,
Trees, trees, trees, Have buds, and fruits, and seeds,
Trees, trees, trees, A home for birds and bees,
We all need our trees, trees, trees...
They live a very, long, long time, A very, very long, long time,
Their age can get much greater than, Grandpa & Grandma's age combined!
They grant us all the greatest things, Each year they grow a new growth ring...
Those magic, ancient, wise old trees Have seen all human history...
Trees, trees, trees, Have roots, and trunks, and leaves,
Trees, trees, trees, Have buds, and fruits, and seeds,
Trees, trees, trees, A home for birds and bees,
We all need our trees, trees, trees...
Sweet maple syrup, And all kinds of fruits,
And wood to make chairs, Real rubber for boots!
They clean up the air, They keep it real fresh,
Supply oxygen, When we take a deep breath...
Trees, trees, trees, Have roots, and trunks, and leaves,
Trees, trees, trees, Have buds, and fruits, and seeds,
Trees, trees, trees, A home for birds and bees,
We all need our trees, trees, trees...
Well they don't take much, For what that they give,
Only sunlight, and water to live... Maybe some soil,
To help them stand up, And maybe some love,
So they don't' get cut
Trees protect us!
Let's protect them too, Preserve our trees?
It's what we should do!
Trees, trees, trees, Have roots, and trunks, and leaves,
Trees, trees, trees, Have buds, and fruits, and seeds,
Trees, trees, trees, A home for birds and bees,
We all need our trees, trees, trees...
Trees, trees, trees,
Have roots and trunks and leaves...
Trees, trees, trees,
Have buds, and fruits and seeds...
Trees, trees, trees
A home for birds and bees
We all need our trees, trees, trees...
