LEAVES!
Who knows what leaves do during different seasons?
Leaves change color because of something called Chlorophyll.
Chlorophyll is a green pigment, present in all green plants and in bacteria, responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis.
Chlorophyll starts to break down because of changes in the length of daylight and changes in temperature, the leaves stop their food-making process.
That’s why the green color disappears, and the yellow to orange colors become visible and give the leaves a fun fall color!
Photosynthesis is when mostly green plants make food from water and carbon dioxide.
Leaves come in many shapes and sizes, maybe you can go outside and find some! You can make a big pile and jump in!
Leaf Hunt Time!
At home, you can go on your own Autumn leaf hunt! See if you can find all of the different colors and shapes of leaves.
And for fall, you can go on a scavenger hunt to see if you can find any of these items in your backyard then you can put a check mark!
