Shapes of Leaves
Trees use leaves to store water and nutrients. We appreciate leaves for their natural beauty, their nutritional value, the cool shade they provide on hot summer days, and the fun we have jumping from the bare autumn branches into a great big pile of them.Every now and then, we pick one up and examine it more closely. In this project we’ll explore the factors that determine the shapes of leaves.
