1. Trees and Forests Review
Science 6

2. Organisms Producers Consumers Decomposers
Does not feed on other organisms
Use energy from the sun to make their own food
Examples: Grass
Consumers
Feed on other living organisms
Herbivores, carnivores, omnivores
Examples: Ants
Decomposers
Break down dead plant and animal material
Living things that reduce the remains of non-living things to add minerals and nutrients to the soil
Examples: Mushrooms, earthworms

Needles
Cones
Types?
Spruce
Deciduous
What makes deciduous different from coniferous?
Leaves, fruit, flowers, catkins
Broad leaves
Elm, Birch, Poplar
How are coniferous and deciduous the same?
Trunk, bark, seeds

4. Tree Growth How can we tell how old a tree is?
How can we tell how much a tree has grown in a year?

5. Environmental Concerns
Effects of cutting down large areas of forested land:
More carbon dioxide in the air
Less oxygen in the air
What is an environmentalist? What is their perspective? What are other perspectives?

22. Food Chains
Sun  Producer  Consumer (Primary)  Consumer (Secondary)  Consumer (Tertiary)

23. Benefits of Trees Life Support Raw Materials Habitat Recreation
What are other words for logging?
Why might people be for deforestation?
Why might people be against tree harvesting?

24. Examples of Fungi
Mildews, rusts, mushrooms, puffballs, conks, yeasts and molds.

25. Conks: A type of fungus found attached to tree trunks.
They grown like steps or shelves and have growth rings like trees.
They look soft, like mushrooms, but are very hard and are firmly attached to the trunk.

26. Lichens
Grow on walls, rocks, tree bark, and other places where neither fungus nor algae could exist alone.
They grow very slowly.
They can withstand extreme heat and cold (but not smoke or fumes).

27. Photosynthesis

28. Three criteria to classify a plant as a tree
1. One self-supporting structure
2. Consists of a woody substance
3. Is a perennial
