Discovery fall center
The children were invited to take a closer look at different fall items.
Ari and Shayna enjoyed playing with acorns and finding the right size 'hat'.
Science experiment
Why do leaves change colors?
We asked the children why THEY think the leaves change colors.
Evan: "When the leaves touch the floor it makes it turn different colors."
Moshe: "Because they fall off."
Moshe showing his friends a leaf that had beautiful fall colors.
A science experiment helped us understand why the leaves change colors.
Chlorophyll which causes the leaf to be green is so dominant it covers up the other colors in the leaf. During the fall this chlorophyll breaks down and now the other colors are visible!
Rubbing alcohol helped separate the colors inside the leaf.
After placing the glass jar in hot water (energy) we placed a strip of a coffee filter and saw different colors that had evaporated on it!

Art- Bringing fall inside
The children were invited to gather leaves from their own backyards! We used them to create artistic leaf prints.
