Website of the Week


Fall is once again upon us, and we all enjoy the colors of the autumn leaves. Did you ever wonder how and why a fall leaf changes color? Why a maple leaf turns bright red? Where do the yellows and oranges come from? To answer those questions, we first have to understand what leaves are and what they do. This site, part of the Science Made Simple website, also includes information on how plants prepare for winter. Features a very brief easy-reader section on changing fall leaves, a word scramble activity, and 3 leaf-color science experiments.
