Tree Identification Lab!!!

Mark, Gabby, Brady and Annika working with a Black Oak sample.
 This week in STEAM we had a lab to learn how to identify common tree species that are native to Cape Cod. The species we have learned about are: White Oak, Black Oak, American Holly, Pitch Pine, and White Pine. Paying close attention to the leaves/acorns and needles/cones helped us with our identification.
Gigi, Rhiannon, Jenna, and Bridgette inspect acorn specimens.

Kim, Stella, Neil, Harry, Kailyn, and Melanie count the needle bundles...do we see three or five???

Erin and Avani studying the details of a cone from a Pitch Pine.
Thank you to Thorton Burgess for supplying us with our lab kits!!!
