Have you ever noticed that leaves change colors in the fall? If you would like to know why leaves change colors visit this web site. |

Not only do leaves change in the fall, but the weather changes too. It becomes cooler in the fall so the leaves soak up less sun. If you would like to check out the weather in your town visit this web site. |

Do you ever wonder why
there are
so many leaves on the ground in the Fall? Many leaves fall
off of their trees. This website will tell you why they
do. |

Mission
Activity
Let's pretend we
are going to explore the wonderful world of fall by
going on a nature hike! As we go on a hike outside, be sure to
pay close attention to the different colors, shapes, and sizes of the
leaves and trees. What colors are the leaves? What is on
the ground underneath the trees? When we return from our hike,
let's draw a picture of
what we discovered! Your teacher will combine everyones fall
picture to
make one big book about fall! You will also make leaf rubbings to
go on the cover of the book! Let's get started! Follow
me!
