How is the Government like a Tree??

We have been learning about the US government in Social Studies. The government is like a tree because it has three BRANCHES (not real branches of course...), but we can tell you what we learned about the branches of government as we did activities exploring the Constitution on our ipads and created tree pictures to remind us about the three branches of government. Check out what we learned below!

Exploring the Constitution on the "Constitution" App!

Here are pictures of us creating our "trees" with details about the three branches of the US government!

THE BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT

BY: Matthew Harling

There are three branches of government, 1 of them is the legislative branch, another is the executive, and the 3^rd is the judicial branch. The executive has the president and vice president. The legislative makes the laws. Last but not least the judicial decides if the law is going to be a law or not be a law by looking at the Constitution.

There are three branches of government the 1^st- branch is the judicial branch, the judicial branch judges the laws and the people who break them. The 2^nd- branch is the legislative branch who makes the laws. The 3^rd branch is the executive branch which has the presidnt and he executs the laws. –Ashton Lewis
