Last week we visited Saluda Shoals to learn about trees through some hands-on experiences. Students learned how to look for signs of insects on tree bark using a magnifying glass, how to determine the age of a tree by counting its rings, and made leaf rubbings from different types of tree leaves. We categorized the different purposes for trees, whether as animal homes, for human recreation, or in man-made products. We had an exciting nature walk during which our expert guide educated us on the various trees and plants that grow there.
