A Year in the Life of a Maple Tree:
Students will find a Sugar Maple tree in a native landscape and conduct observations during each week of the semester. Qualitative and quantitative observations should be recorded in a notebook. Digital images should also be made of this tree during weekly observations. Additionally, students will collect leaves and perform filter-paper chromatography separation of the leaf pigments several different times during the semester.
