Deciduous or Coniferous?

If you ask your child that question tonight, I guarantee that they will be able to tell you what kind of trees in your neighborhood are coniferous trees and what kind of trees are deciduous trees!

Conifers:
-triangle shape
-produce cones
-evergreen
-needles

Deciduous:
-lollipop shape
-have leaves (simple or complex)
-lose their leaves every year
-have flowers or fruit

We ventured around our school grounds to check out our local trees. This was a great introduction to our first science unit of the year!

***FUN FACT: St. Norbert College's campus has every tree native to Wisconsin :)
