Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to have some fun with leaves. Imagine you’re playing in the park during summer. All the leaves are green and look the same. But when fall comes, the leaves change colors and look different!
Did you know that leaves can be different in many ways? Let’s look closely at some leaves. There are leaves from different trees, like maple trees and oak trees. They don’t look the same!
A maple leaf looks like a scarf, and an oak leaf looks like an oval with a wavy edge. Can you try to sort them into two groups? One group for maple leaves and another for oak leaves. Great job!
Now, let’s see how else we can sort the leaves. Some leaves are big, and some are small. Let’s make two piles: one for big leaves and one for small leaves. Isn’t that fun?
Leaves can also be sorted by color. Some leaves are yellow, some are red, and some are both yellow and green. Let’s count how many leaves we have of each color. We have the most yellow leaves, fewer red leaves, and the least yellow and green leaves.
Even though the leaves have fallen, they are still very beautiful. How about we make a wreath with them and hang it on the front door? It will look so pretty! And it’s easy because we’ve already sorted the leaves by shape, size, and color.
In our next lesson, we’ll learn all about patterns. I can’t wait to see you again! Bye for now!
Leaf Hunt Adventure: Go on a leaf hunt in your backyard or a nearby park. Collect different types of leaves and bring them back. Can you find a maple leaf and an oak leaf? Look for leaves of different sizes and colors. Once you have your collection, try sorting them into groups just like we did in the lesson. Which group has the most leaves?
Leaf Art Creation: Use the leaves you collected to create a piece of art. Arrange them on a piece of paper to make a picture or pattern. You can glue them down or just arrange them and take a picture. What shapes can you make with your leaves? Can you make a picture of an animal or a tree?
Color Change Experiment: Take a few green leaves and place them in a sunny spot. Check them every day to see if they change color. Why do you think the leaves change color? Talk with a friend or family member about what you observe. How do the leaves look different after a few days?
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:

Sorting one group in different ways.
Hey guys! Today I’m playing in the park in the summer. All the leaves are green and seem the same. Now in the fall, they are many colors and look so different from each other.
Hi everyone! Yes, leaves change their color in the fall, but color is not their only difference.
[Music]
What else is different? Look carefully; there are leaves from different trees in this heap. They don’t look the same. Yes, the shapes of a maple leaf and an oak leaf are different. The oak leaf looks like an oval with a wavy edge, and a maple leaf looks like a scarf.
Try to sort this heap into two groups: maple leaves and oak leaves. I’ll give it a go.

Now the maple leaves and the oak leaves lie separately. Let’s think about how else these leaves are different. I know some leaves are big and some are small. Correct! What about sorting the leaves by size?
[Music]
Great! We’ve got a heap of small leaves and a heap of big leaves. Apart from shape and size, is there any other way to sort these leaves?
I think we can also sort them by color. They are all different colors. Not exactly; some leaves are yellow, some are red, and some are two-colored: yellow and green.
Let us see how many leaves of each color there are. Sure thing, that’s easy! Yellow leaves are the most, red leaves are less, and yellow and green leaves are the least.
Even though these leaves have fallen off, they are still very beautiful. Should we make a wreath of them and hang it on the front door?
That would look very pretty! Awesome idea! I’ll do that. It’ll be easy because I’ve already sorted the leaves by shape, size, and color.

At our next lesson, we’ll learn everything about patterns. See you soon! Bye guys!
