The eastern black walnut is one of the most valuable and beautiful native trees in North America. Though their fruit can be difficult to husk, they payoff is worth it! I hope this mini unit study inspires you to enjoy this wonderful tree and appreciate it's delicious fruit. Remember, there is so much beauty to be discovered in our own backyards!

My unit studies are designed to work for preschool age all the way up to the elementary ages, they can even be adapted for older students. The info cards are written in simple language so you can read them aloud to younger students and your reading students can read them aloud or independently. Older students can use the info cards for copy work or to write a report in their own words. Students of all ages can use the artwork as inspiration for their own artwork and diagrams. I've included some fun letters and writing practice for preschool and early elementary age student to help keep them busy while you read aloud or while your older students work.
