Did you ever wonder what makes the leaves on a tree change color and why it happens? A tree uses its leaves during dur-ing the spring and summer to make food for itself. The leaves have a chemical in them called chlorophyll. This chemical is what makes the leaves green. The chlorophyll is needed to help the tree take carbon dioxide diox-ide out of the air and combine it with sunlight to make food. As summer begins to end, the days get shorter and colder. The leaves of a tree are fragile and cannot last through the winter. Because there is less sunlight, there is not enough light for the leaves to make food for the tree so the food-making that the leaves do starts to slow down. The tree is going into a state called hibernation. This is the same thing bears do dur Aspen Leaf For the USOMATA Carnegie Hall Fund 1 ; stpuos r muwm m I fm I I M m w Li J j $49.S3 C-- .n l AHA IIA - mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmW CO i of autumn: change ing the winter. Hibernation is where a tree (or a bear) rests during the cold months and uses the food it has stored up during the warmer months to stay alive. In the leaves of a tree, the green chlorophyll chloro-phyll that was used to make food is no longer needed and starts to break down and disappear. As the green goes away we see yellow yel-low and oranges. These colors have been in the leaves through the summer, but were covered up by the green chlorophyll. The reds and purples that you can see in maple tree leaves are made when trapped food in the leaves gets colder. The brown color like you might see in oak leaves are made from wastes left in the leaves. When the chlorophyll leaves the leaf and the extra fluids go back into the tree from the leaf in preparation for winter, the leaf can fall off the tree to make room for new leaves that will come in the spring.

Autumn Activities Using the pictures below, identify leaf types when you go for a walk. Notice which leaves change yellow, red, or orange. Press leaves in a heavy book between two sheets of paper. When they have dried, use them to make a collage or frame them for some autumn art. You can also put them between contact paper for a nice bookmark Put leaves under a white sheet of paper and rub with a crayon. Notice the veins in each leaf. This is how the tree gets the food the leaf makes. Honey Locust Leaf .......

Oatmeal Patties Kid-friendly recipe (From "The Seasame Street Cook book") Oatmeal is perfect on a cool fall day, but if mom or dad cooked too much, here is a new way to have leftover oatmeal. Dish out patties from leftover oatmeal that are about 2 inches wide and 12 inch thick. Put on a plate with bread crumbs then turn over so both sides of patty are coated. With mom or dad's help, put a little butter in a hot pan and cook patties until they are dark brown and crispy on both sides. Serve in a bowl with milk on top, or with apple butter. Fun Fact What do leaves and bananas have in common? The green color in unripe bananas comes from chlorophyll, chloro-phyll, the same chemical in green leaves As bananas ripen, the chlorophyll starts to break down and disappear, leaving the yellow color that has been there all along.
