IT IS FALL • Fall means shorter days and cooler nights. • Trees shed their leaves saying goodbye to summer • Trees that drop their leaves each fall are called • deciduous trees. • Why do you think dentists refer to baby teeth as "deciduous teeth"? • Did you know that a tree's leaves are orange and yellow -- even in summer? Most leaves include the pigments of all three colors. • It's just that the pigment chlorophyll (the pigment that makes the leaves green) is a much stronger pigment than the others. • It covers the yellow (xanthophyll) and orange (carotene) pigments that are natural to a tree's leaves. • But, come fall, a tree's leaves produce less chlorophyll. Now the other colors can show through. And that they do -- in brilliant explosions of color! • Another pigment (anthocyanin), which produces reds and purples, isn't present all year long in most green leaves. It only shows up as the nights get cooler.
Butterfly • Origami butterfly • Before you start • It is important that you know how to do two important folds that are referred to in the instructions below:- • Instructions • Start with a (biggish) square of paper. Make a valley fold horizontally across the paper. Then make mountain folds along the diagonals. Corners A and E will make the front wings, and C and D will be the back ones. • Bring corners A & C together. Then bring corners B and D together. Tuck in the horizontal creases to make a triangle shape. • Fold down corners C & D to the right-angled point of your triangle. • Make a valley fold across the triangle. • Fold flaps C & D to the front. Fold the outside edge of each flap towards the center to allow the flaps to lie down flat. (These are the back wings). • Make a mountain fold at E. Then make a valley fold to form a little point peeking up from behind your model (This will be the head). • Fold the butterfly in half using a valley fold. Bringing wing A to wing B so that the butterfly is side on. • Valley fold along wings A and C near the head to make the body. Turn over your model and do the same on the other side with wings B and D. • I hope you now have a butterfly. If you pinch the body the wings flap a little. • Why not color in or decorate the butterflies you've made.
