Leaves, Leaves, Everywhere!

This week we have been learning all about leaves. Today we went outside and searched our school grounds to find different types of leaves. We brought our finds back to the classroom and made leaf rubbings to add to our science duotangs. We labeled our rubbings with the leaf type (simple of compound), the blade shape, and the type of edge. Some of the leaves were pretty tricky to classify!

See if you can identify some of the different leaf shapes (e.g. oblong, oval, lance, spatula, diamond) and edges (e.g. lobed, scalloped, toothed, serrated) that we found in these pictures.
