How fast did these trees grow?
Now that you know how growth is related to rings, look at the Tree Chart activity you did after your visit.

Look at the class data of all the tree measurements - circumference and number of rings. The different types of trees are listed below.

Which tree grew the fastest? Click the button in that tree's row that is under the word "fastest". Put the rest in order by clicking the button that shows how fast it grew compared to the others.

You should have only one button clicked in each row and each column.

 Slowest......Fastest
Spruce
Walnut
Willow
Box Elder
