Here are some big, bold numbers to help define your line in a way that students can see where they should be standing.
Water Wonders: Activity #44
Fun raindrop shapes describe each part of the water droplet's journey instead of paper slips! You can also print out the station signs so that students can easily see where they're going. The 2006 file includes the glacier station and slip notations.
Tree Factory: Activity #63
Construct a tree in your very own classroom complete with heartwood, sapwood, phloem, roots, cambium, leaves, and bark! Students will learn how trees use all their parts to live and grow while they act out the functions of the tree. (Two files, print out the first set, then send the sheets through in order on the flipside to create two-sided cards)
Forest for the Trees: Activity #69
FIREWOOD, PULP, and LUMBER signs complete with pictures to hang around student's neck for this exercise.
Web of Life: Activity #45
If there is not enough time for students to research their own plant or animal, use these pre-made color cards to re-create the web of life. Modified from North Carolina PLT's version.
