Greetings Scientists!
We've been focusing on seasons, soil, and cycles for the past few weeks so today, we'll read a Native American story about why trees lose their leaves in the fall.
It's a Cherokee story that can be found here: Why Trees Lose Their Leaves
Many people all over the world have stories about seasons.
Another way to describe why plants change with the seasons is because of changes in sunlight.
Remember our Earth's tilt on the axis?
Changes in sunlight as the Earth rotates around the sun also explains why plants have seasonal changes.
Notice the seasonal changes around you...
Activity - Collect some leaves that tell the story of change and draw the leaves in a cycle.
"Fall Leaves" by Andy Goldsworthy
