Winter Plant Study: Conifers and Lichens and TAIGA Biome


 For our winter plant study we are looking at conifers.


We wanted to know how to tell the difference when we see different kinds of pine trees.  This video gave us some tools which were perfect to watch before our winter walk!


If you are new to nature study, I highly recommend the Handbook of Nature Study.  It is rich with information!




What is Taiga?  We wanted to know.  We learned where the Boreal Forest is and why!




We learned about how reindeer eat lichen in Sweden during our Christmas around the world study.  We were surprised to find out about the symbiotic relationship that make lichen possible!
