In this activity children consider how trees impact our lives and whether there is scientific evidence to suggest that trees make us happy.
Description
The government's Big Tree Plant campaign which aimed to plant one million trees in English urban areas over a period of four years, claims trees are not only good for our bank balance, but they do wonders for our well-being.
Children will consider how trees impact our lives and whether there is scientific evidence to suggest that trees make us happy.
Learning Objective:
- to listen and discuss their ideas with others and ask questions relevant to the topic

These resources were initially developed in partnership with the Centre for Science Education, Sheffield Hallam University.
