During Forest Product Month in October 2024, Into the Outdoors aired four new episodes to celebrate the importance of forests and forest products in our lives. LEAF created 10 lessons to support the Forest Products and Wood Education episodes. Lessons include everything synonymous with a typical LEAF lesson: background information, connections to Wisconsin State standards, detailed instructions and engaging activities, and offer suggestions on how to use the lessons with students outside the designated grade band.
Forest Products is a bundle of three lessons made to use in a series, or independently. While using them with the Forest Products Kit is recommended, they can be used without the kit. Each lesson includes a teacher guide, slideshow presentation of the lesson, and all necessary student documents. The lessons and resources can also be found as part of the Wisconsin MS-HS Forestry Scope and Sequence.
Understanding Community Systems is a bundle of four lessons that include slideshow presentations and other necessary teacher and student documents to complete the activities found in each of the Understanding Community Systems videos. The lessons can be used as a unit or independent of each other.
