We explored and discovered the science of leaves today during small groups. First, we observed the details of our leaf an drew a sketch making sure to include all the details we saw. Next, we found the “area” of our leaf by covering it with pennies. Some leaves had an area of 8 pennies while others had an area of 15! We had leaves of all sizes! Lastly, we made our leaves float in a bowl of water and found how many pennies it took to sink them! The children recorded their finding on their own science log.
