Leaves, Leaves, Falling Down!

The students recently spent some time observing leaves during our Collecting and Examining Life Unit. We preserved leaves from our fall wild walk for this special activity. The students worked in small groups to sort our leaves by various attributes.

Our little scientists are quickly becoming experts on using our digital microscope (proscope) to make observations about living things. They looked closely at our leaves and recorded some of their observations. Check out their thoughts below!

This activity helped the children to learn that leaves and flat in order to collect sunlight that is then turned into food!
