Oh, no! This
poor tree is
sick!
No it isn't. Trees
drop their
leaves in fall to
get ready for
winter.
Hey!
Where
are you
going?
To get a jacket for
the tree! It's going
to get cold out
here in winter!

Standards Link: Reading
Comprehension: Follow simple
written directions.
Standards Link: Life Science: Plants have structures that serve
different functions in survival; plants use carbon dioxide and
energy from sunlight to build sugar and release oxygen.
Many plants stop making food in the fall. When they stop making food, the green color in
their leaves starts to disappear.
Funny You
Should Ask!
When the rain comes
down, what goes up?
Find the answer in the
fall leaf border! Start
with the letter in the
triangle. Then read
every other letter as
you move along the
border.
Plants make their own food
using these ingredients:
Trees take water from the
ground through their roots.
They take a gas called
carbon dioxide from the air.
They use the sunlight and
something called chlorophyll
(clor-oh-fill) to turn water
and carbon dioxide into food.
Chlorophyll is green. It gives
leaves their green color.
When winter days get short and there is less sunlight, the leaf makes less chlorophyll. Then we
can see orange and yellow colors. These colors were in the leaves all summer, but the green
covered them up.
Red leaves are another story. This color is made
in the fall, from food trapped in the leaves.
