Trees and Forests ReviewScience 6
Organisms Producers
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
Tree Types Coniferous
What makes coniferous different from deciduous? Needles Cones Types?
Spruce
Deciduous What makes deciduous different from coniferous?
Leaves, fruit, flowers, catkins Broad leaves Types?
Elm, Birch, Poplar
How are coniferous and deciduous the same? Trunk, bark, seeds
Tree Growth How can we tell how old a tree is? How can we tell how much a tree has
grown in a year?
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?

What are other words for logging? Why might people be for deforestation? Why might people be against tree
harvesting?
Examples of Fungi Mildews, rusts, mushrooms, puffballs,
conks, yeasts and molds.
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.
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).
Photosynthesis
Three criteria to classify a plant as a tree 1. One self-supporting structure 2. Consists of a woody substance 3. Is a perennial
