Today in science we continued our study of the parts of the plant.  Today we looked at the leaves.  We discussed photosynthesis.  We talked about how plants require light as a form of energy to develop and grow.  The way this energy transfer happens is by using chlorophyll.  Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that is used to trap energy fro the sun.  Each green part of a plant has chlorophyll.  Chlorophyll helps plants absorb light and convert it into sugar through photosynthesis.  We rubbed leaves and witnessed the chlorophyll.  Then we made leaf rubbings and discussed the different types of leaves.  We labeled and classified the leaves.
