The tree age investigation is a great activity if you’re focusing on perimeter, measuring, or data handling. Your class will use a simple formula to figure out the rough age of the trees around your outdoor space, completing some fun challenges, or collecting data to input into graphs. This resource pack contains two different activities you could do when looking at the ages of trees. Challenge questions – For this activity your class will figure out the age of trees while completing the different challenges on the sheet. Data handling – Students will collect data by identifying trees and calculating their age. They will then use this data to complete bar graphs and answer some questions about their findings. Both of these activities work best in pairs as it makes it easier to measure the diameter of trees.

This activity is all about measuring circumferences. Children will go outside and find 8 trees to measure the circumference of, recording their answers in the table. It’s good to discuss what the easiest way to measure the circumference of a tree trunk is, hopefully coming to the conclusion that using string is a quick and easy way to measure the circumference. You can either mark out length of string or get them to measure the string after each trunk measurement. Once they’ve recorded the circumference of 8 tree trunks they can then complete the differentiated question sheets. The second sheet has a focus on averages whereas the first sheet focuses on simple questions about the data they’ve collected. Please don’t forget to rate this resource to let us know what you think.

Growing plants is great fun and can lead to loads of teaching opportunities. For this activity students will plant a variety of species and measure their growth rate over time. The students first look at how they can carry out this investigation, completing an investigation plan. After the seeds are planted they’ll measure the height of each plant every week and record their findings on the table. As part of the sheet they’ll need to work out differences in heights. We suggest using 4 - 5 different types of plants, ideally ones with a clear difference in growth rate. How you carry this investigation out depends greatly on the space you have available. You may choose to use separate plant pots or maybe you have a veg patch available. It’s good to discuss the importance of the plants being in the same locations. Why is the sun important for plants? Why is water important? You can go into as much or little detail as needed in these discussions. It can be useful to set up a timetable of who is going to care for the plants each day. If you choose to use fruits or vegetables (highly recommended!) you can then go onto use these as another stimulus for activities.
