Collect nuts, fruit, buds and leaves
from the ground below a tree. Make a collage, mural or mobile.

different types of soil and ground surfaces. Eg pavement, sandy soil, grass, clay,
potting mix. Test their ability to absorb water.
Draw a plant. Include leaf, flower, fruit
and arrangement of leaves on stems. Find out whether the plant is native
or exotic and make an information card on it. Include where is was found, how
many plants there are etc.

Or write a poem about a tree in your school yard.
