Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf

Yesterday we read the book "Read Leaf, Yellow Leaf." It discusses what happens when a seed is planted, and the changing effects of the leaves as the seasons occur. We talked about what makes leaves green, which is the chlorophyll in the leaves. Everyone was given a cup with our green "chlorophyll" (it’s actually green Gatorade), with straw that had a green leaf on one side, and a brown on the other. When all the chlorophyll was gone they turned their leaves brown. We had a lot of fun, and enjoyed the delicious drink!
