If you have oak trees, you probably have acorns, which can be fun and interesting to explore. It is valuable for learners to become aware of and learn about oaks and their acorn seeds, since oaks are extremely important for supporting many organisms within an ecosystem. You don’t need whole acorns to do the activity—any acorn, and maybe especially broken or partial acorns, can be a fun mystery to look at! Self-guided activity, best for learners 6-years-old and older, or younger learners with adult support. Materials:
