Catch a falling leaf
Getting activeUnder 15 mins
What to do
If it’s autumn and you’re patient you may be able to catch a leaf falling naturally. Otherwise, take a leaf from the floor or gently remove a single leaf from a plant. Throw it in the air and watch it carefully as it falls. Can you catch it before it hits the ground?
Try it with different leaves. Are some leaves easier to catch than others?
Things to think about
- Put yourself in place of a tree as it’s dropping its leaves in autumn. What do you think the tree might be thinking and feeling?
