- These treehouses provide fun and educational ways to learn about many different organisms. There are many stories that incorporate information about organisms in a way that is widely accessible to learners, and many stories include comprehension questions. The games and arts and crafts activities are geared toward learning about the organism featured in the page. Some of the students state that their treehouses are meant to be learning materials for students in grades 5-8.

Treehouses are authored by students, teachers, science enthusiasts, or professional scientists. Anyone can sign up as a treehouse contributor and share their knowledge and enthusiasm about organisms. Treehouse contributions are checked for general accuracy and quality by teachers and ToL editors, but they are not usually reviewed by expert scientists. If you spot an error, please get in touch with the author or the teacher. For more information about quality control of Tree of Life content, see Status of Tree of Life Pages.
About This Portfolio
The ToL really appreciates the efforts of these teachers and students. Havergal College has produced some of the first treehouses created by students and we think they did a terrific job.
Special thanks to Seonaid Davis, the coordinator of this project at her school, for becoming one of the first teachers to use the ToL's treehouse publishing system, and for inviting other teachers at her school to do so also. Nice work!
