Fall is here, which means the leaves are changing color and decorating the ground. Use the leaves from your yard to ignite your child’s curiosity with this simple science experiment!
This activity invites your child to ask questions, wonder “What will happen if…”, and develop an experiment to answer their questions. They will place leaves in different liquids, make predictions about what they think will happen, and compare their predictions to the results.
Find this PBS KIDS for Parents activity along with other learning resources, parenting tips and more on pbs.org/parents.
Talk to your child about how sometimes we don’t know all the answers, and that’s great! When we don’t know something, we get the opportunity to ask another person or look up the answer on the computer or create an experiment to help us understand. When we don’t know something, we get to be scientists!
