They will create a leaf rub by placing the leaf under a page of the lab and rubbing it with a colored pencil or crayon. Students will use apps or websites to identify the leaf. They will then use their knowledge of science and the internet to answer analysis questions. This activity connects to the nature of science, measuring, observing, characteristics of life, classification and the fall equinox)
Materials needed:
- Leaves (collect yourself or have students bring them from home)
