Tree Rings

Did you know that each tree tells a story? In this worksheet, children peer inside a tree to learn about the layers in its trunk. Students will examine a diagram of a tree's rings, learning important vocabulary like phloem, cambium, and heartwood. Eight true-or-false questions help reinforce what they have learned. Designed for fourth graders, this life sciences worksheet is a meaningful, informative way to connect children to the natural world around them.
