We know that trees are alive because we see them grow and we see them consume light and water. This means trees are a functioning organism. So if trees are alive and wood comes from trees, wood must also have been alive. Also on the wood you could see small arcs which showed how much the tree had grown over years and how old the tree was when it was cut. This is evidence that the tree was growing.
 * holes

Process Journal:
Wednesday 11th 2012 Today in class I measured my wood and cut it out. Also in class I sanded my wood, I faced the problem that I got a bad piece of sand paper. In the end the sanding made my edges much smoother and made them easier to work with. Also I wrote some of the words on the wood. I found some paint and other things on my wood which made it harder to draw on.
