Spring - observing how a tree can change throughout the seasons

Picture: Tree with empty branches that are all connected.

With the warm weather, students might think about how the tree will evolve and change in the spring. What changes will take place ( i.e. leaves growing, bird nests, etc)?

Curriculum connection: Grade 1 -> 3.4 describes and compare the four seasons (e.g., in terms of amount of daylight, type of precipitation, temperature)

The grade 5 Science Unit "Forces Acting on Structures and Mechanisms" came to mind. A child might make connections and inquire about why the houses are built in this fashion. What are the forces the builders and architects would have to consider when making these developments. But also the idea of symmetry. Why do all houses in new developments look this way? Wind is a strong force in this area because it acts as a tunnel for this type of force.

Potential Questions:
How do plants grow?
What effect does the season have on plant life?
Initial Thoughts:
I thought this might connect to curriculum topics like changes in season (especially because you can see the snow on the ground and the plants growing, showing the transition between winter to spring) and photosynthesis and plants when working on those units with students.

Where does our energy come from? How is electricity distributed throughout the city?
Krystal made an interesting comment about above ground versus buried power lines. Some neighbourhoods have their power lines buried for aesthetic purposes and buried lines are easier to do maintenance on.
City versus urban planning - some students might not recognize a power line if isn't something they are familiar with in their environment. How do different types of cities get their power?
