Prepare yourself to witness the stunning autumn foliage as the leaves change color! During autumn, as the nights grow longer, chlorophyll production in leaves decreases and eventually halts. This interesting process reveals the vibrant colors of the leaves!
A Fun Seasonal STEM Activity!

Sun prints are a great activity for students during this season! Encourage your students to create unique prints of objects by placing objects on special paper and exposing the paper to sunlight. Give them the chance to experiment with different materials and shapes, like leaves – perfect for fall-themed crafts!
