What would happen if the birds arrived on their migration when most insects were still dormant?
Humans, Wildlife & Cherry Trees
Today, we are going to take a trip to Washington D.C.
It’s spring and the cherry trees are in bloom! This is a view of the Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C.
Today we’ll learn about cherry trees, wildlife, and humans.
Cherry Trees
Today we’ll answer some exciting questions!
How do cherry trees work?
How do wildlife interact with the cherry trees?
How do humans impact cherry trees in National Parks in the Washington D.C.?
How can we help conserve and protect these trees?

What Do Plants Need?
Pause to Predict!
What do you think plants need to survive? Shares some ideas!
Roots draw me from the earth when the plant is thirsty
Water
I’m bright, warm, and plants need me to make food in their leaves (by photosynthesis)
Sunlight
Some days (when atmospheric pressure change) you can hear me rustling the leaves of trees
Roots draw me from the earth to feed the plant (what the plant can’t make by photosynthesis)
Nutrients
Drawing Activity: Plants!
Draw your own healthy plant environment!
It can be any plant – and as fantastical as you like!
Just be sure to include everything the plant needs to grow and be healthy.
Growing Zones
All organisms need the right conditions to live. You wouldn’t be very comfortable standing outside without a coat all winter! Trees live their whole life cycle where their seeds take root. That spot has to have the amount of water, sunlight, nutrients, and the right temperature.
This map shows growing zones, places where certain plants will thrive. These are shown in colors on the map and in the legend. Cherry trees do well in zones 5 – 8. Let’s see if we can find those!
Which zone do you live in? In which zone is Washington DC?
