What are conifers?\u00a0 Well to answer that questions I had a great video for you to watch and to go along with that video some vocabulary about conifers and trees in general.\u00a0 Before watching the video below let me define a few words for you:<\/p>\n
bark<\/strong> (noun) – the tough protective outer part of a tree’s trunk, branches, and twigs Now you are ready to go.\u00a0 Enjoy this cute kids song about conifers.\u00a0 This is an easy to understand song that is sung slowly with a number of repeated lines, but I have pasted the lyrics to the song below so you can follow along to better understand any words you don’t already know.\u00a0 The following words are the names of different types of conifer tree: larch, junipers, fir, spruce, cedars, pines, hemlocks, cyprus, yew, dwarf conifer, <\/em>and sequoia redwood,<\/em> in this song.\u00a0 These are words you probably don’t already know – just keep in mind they are specific names of trees.<\/p>\n
