The challenge may be used for exploring Ontario Ministry of Education curriculum and expectations. The tree planting challenge covers many cross curricular connections including math (measure, sort, patterns), science, language (describe, write, read), problem solving (research tree species, appropriate soils), social studies (habitats, benefits of trees in community)...

Suitable for Kindergarten, Grade 1, Grade 2, and Grade 3 as well as, Pre-school, Forest School and Homeschoolers. This video urges students to investigate collaboration, science, and problem solving.

For teachers, parents and adults:
This video follows an inquiry model. It is designed to encourage young students to be curious, ask questions and investigate the challenge of planting and protecting a tree seedling into a mature tree in your community. We ask questions and urge students (with your support) to find answers.

Your role is to encourage the curiosity by guiding young learners' questions (rather than just providing answers.)

Prompts you can ask / Extensions you can do:
"Where can you get a small tree to plant?"
"What kind of soil is appropriate for your tree seedling??"
"Where can you plant your tree so that it will thrive?"
"Who do the trees benefit or help?"
"How will you protect the tree from people, animals and dry conditions?"

Draw your own version of the life cycle of a tree.
