Fall (autumn) is a time when many leaves are said to change colors. The truth is, though, leaves do not really change colors. Their true colors begin to show in the fall. The trees do not get the same amount of sunlight and the same temperatures in the fall and winter in order to produce enough chlorophyll to maintain their green leaves.
This book, Why Do Leaves Change Colors? gives a great explanation of the changing colors of leaves in the fall.

Is that you reading the book? I loved it! Pinned on my science board and my children’s books board. It has a lot of great vocabulary and explains the life cycle of leaves in a lot of detail. Thanks for linking up to Thinky Linky Thursday!

Yes, that’s me reading. I’ve recorded several books for technology use in classrooms. Seems to be going well as the videos get many hits and views, useful in classrooms for different ways of reading and introducing topics. Thanks for pinning.
I think this book is great for fall! Loved hearing you read it! Renee
Thanks for commenting. The video book readings are useful tools in the classroom to add a new face and voice for the students. Thanks for listening and share with classes and students.
I love that book … and remember reading it to my daughter (who’s now 22)! I pinned your post to my Autumn Leaf Unit Study at http://pinterest.com/debchitwood/autumn-leaf-unit-study/
Awesome…and thanks so much. This book does have a lot of information in it, a lot of vocabulary words and concepts for fall science.
