A part of our current science unit on Organisms deals with human impact on the environment. We wanted to do something to help the environment. We investigated the area around our school and noticed the small trees on the playground were not looking very good. The bark was peeled off the trees, there were deep holes around the trees, and people had been swinging on the branches. Our class decided to take action and find a way to help the small ornamental trees. Students made signs asking people to swing on the monkey bars, instead of the trees and to be kind to the trees. We put these signs around the trees. Please check out our video to see how we worked together to help the trees.
