EXTRA CREDIT: To some, a tree is a tree, but most people realize that there are many different types of trees around this area. The quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) is a very common tree around these parts. If you bring me in a leaf from a quaking aspen you will get 2 extra credit points. This may require you to do an internet search so you can identify the leaf/tree. You will get 3 points if you can tell me why it is called a "quaking" aspen. Here is a hint - They almost ALWAYS grow in a "grove" or a bunch.

Where do we find a Quaking Aspen leaf??!!

All you need to do is type quaking aspen into google images...or ask a relative that knows something about trees. Grandpas and dads are a good start. Especially anyone that cuts a lot of firewood.
