Shrubs
A shrub is a type of woody plant that is smaller than a tree and has several main stems arising at or near the ground. Shrubs are an important part of the ecosystem, providing habitat and food for various animals and birds. They also play a role in preventing soil erosion and can be used for landscaping and ornamental purposes.
Characteristics of Shrubs:
- Size: Shrubs are smaller than trees, typically growing up to 20 feet in height.
- Stems: They have multiple main stems arising at or near the ground.
- Woody Structure: Shrubs have woody stems and branches.
- Leaves: They have leaves that can be broad or needle-like, depending on the species.

PHYSICAL SCIENCE
Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
Investigate the resulting motion of objects when forces of different strengths and directions act upon them (e.g., object being pushed, object being pulled, two objects colliding).
Use observations and data from investigations to determine if a design solution (e.g., designing a ramp to increase the speed of an object in order to move a stationary object) solves the problem of using force to change the speed or direction of an object.
LIFE SCIENCE
Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics
Distinguish between living and nonliving things and verify what living things need to survive (e.g., animals needing food, water, and air; plants needing nutrients, water, sunlight, and air).
