HOW PLANTS LIVE TOGETHER 43 



Hand Work 



Let each child make a list on the leaflet of all the 

 plant societies he can think of, and opposite each write 

 the names of two plants or of a plant and a tree that 

 would be found in that society. 



OPENING TALK 



Who has visited a great tree since the last lesson? 

 (Let each child tell about the tree visited and describe 

 its trunk, branches and leaves.) Let us see the leaves 

 that you have pressed and mounted. 



What is it that the tree must always find? Water, 

 yes, with its roots, but sunlight, also, with its leaves. It 

 must always lift its head up to the sunlight, if it is going 

 to live. Is this always easy to do? 



Our story to-day will tell us some of the difficulties 

 plants and trees meet, and how they make the best of 

 the conditions they find.
