Here are some interesting sites that I’ve found this week,
thanks to my PLN. As a teacher, I feel we have to keep up to date concerning
research in our field and current issues in the education system. I hope some
of these inspire you, inform you, and even have you asking questions. Thank you
for coming by and visiting!

Why
Do Leaves Change Colors in the Fall? – “Autumn means leaves are turning
different shades of red, orange, and yellow and falling to the ground. But why?
Jessi takes you deep inside a leaf to explain! (L:E,M;SA:S)
Why
Do Leaves Change Colors? – “This week Reactions is checking out some
seasonal science. Why do leaves change color? Spoiler: chemistry. It’s the
first day of autumn and the telltale signs are here: Crisp weather, pumpkin
spice lattes and most importantly, the leaves are changing colors. Ever wonder
why some leaves turn red, others yellow and some just turn brown? It's all down
to chlorophyll (more like bore-ophyll!) and the glucose stored inside trees
that help reveal the reds, yellows and, less excitingly, browns of fall
foliage.” (L:E,M;SA:S)
