4-Winds Science Exploration

Working together on a  leaf rubbing!

We found two leaves that were
twins.

We found two leaves from a Maple Tree.



 

 



Looking for a leaf twin.



Today we learned about leaves in 4-Winds. Our parent volunteers, Cara and Elise entertained us with a puppet show. We learned about why leaves turn from green to many beautiful colors like red, yellow and orange. It has to do with the shorter days and the lack of light which is needed to produce chloryphyll in a process called photosynthesis. The children explored leaves up close and saw that they have veins just like people do. After they collected leaves, they made some leaf rubbings.
