Students will learn how trees produce their own food by combining water, carbon dioxide, nutrients from the soil, and sunlight, and how every part of the tree contributes to the process of making and distributing food.
Trees require food, just like animals and people.
They produce and distribute their own food in a special way. Little Green Food Factories. The food that trees need is made in the leaves. Each leaf contains millions of chlorophyll cells. Chlorophyll cells are green, which is why leaves are green in the spring and summer.
