WHAT MAKES TREES CHANGE COLOR, MOMMY?

With the arrival of autumn a phenomenal change takes place and the world around us takes on an entirely new look.

Have you ever wondered how the trees know that winter is coming?
Have you ever wanted to know what really happens to make the leaves change to the vibrant colors of autumn?

This project helps students understand, not only why the leaves change color, but provides them with the means to measure the different factors and draw conclusions as to what triggers the changes in color of leaves before the onset of winter.  Teachers, for more info, please read the overview.
