Leaf Characteristics Sort

Leaves! Leaves! Leaves! Last week we did a science experiment with leaves. Do you know why? We wanted to sort them by their characteristics. Characteristics are the texture, color, shape, size, and smell...or anything else you observe. Some leaves smell good, some didn't. Smell is one of the characteristics of leaves. My favorite characteristic was texture because I love how the leaves felt. Some were rough, some were smooth, and some felt sticky.

Number 17 and 11 sorted their leaves by size, color and texture. "One leaf was fuzzy. It felt kind of weird," said #17.


Number 15 and number 25 sorted their leaves by the size, shape and color. "One smelled like pizza," said number 15. "It did," number 25 agreed!

Number 23, 18, and 20 measured their leaves in order to sort them by size.

Number 23 said, "One of the leaves was a mint leaf. It smelled so good. I just wanted to eat it!"

"The texture was really bumpy on the older one, and the new ones were really smooth," said number 18.

" When I saw one of the leaves, it looked like a four-leaf clover. I made a wish, but it wasn't a four-leaf clover," said Number 20.
