Acorns and Oak Trees Mini Unit

Description

Help Piglet investigate why the acorns are disappearing.

Big Ideas:

Change: As the weather changes and becomes cooler, animals and trees prepare for winter.

Cycles: Trees go through life cycles from seed, to seedling, to sapling, to mature tree. The adult tree produces seeds to start the process all over again.

Interdependence: Lots of animals depend on acorns in the fall. Oak trees depend on gravity and flowing water, but primarily on animals, to spread their seeds.
