💡 Fun Facts

  • The leaves are like a plant's kitchen, as this is where it makes its food.
  • The green colour comes from a substance called chlorophyll, which helps the plant absorb sunlight.
  • In autumn, the leaves of deciduous trees stop making food and change from green to beautiful reds, yellows, and browns.
