Examining leaves

Science...

We've started with plants...what do they all have in common? One of their common traits is a leaf...so we brought in all types, and spent a couple of days looking at different ones under a hand lens.

From these observations, students recorded the texture, color, size, and shape of their leaves. They wrote a little description and drew a picture of each leaf. Some drew a close up and some drew the entire leaf.It was a 'fourth grade choice' on how they wanted to draw.Just look at all our scientists!







This was some of the leaves we had to choose from...





What fun it was to check out all the different leaves!
