Wis forWood

Wood is what the trunks and branches of trees are made from. Trees get thicker as they grow, so when you cut them down you can see rings of colors in the inside of the tree, like in the picture. When you cut a tree lengthways the rings become lines called grain, which you can see in most things made out of wood. Wood is used to make houses, furniture and some toys.
