Learn how leaves use fuzz, chemicals, and even camouflage to stay safe from animals that might want to eat them. This episode is packed with surprising science and outdoor observation ideas!
In the companion Parts of a Leaf video class included in the No Sweat Nature Study LIVE membership, you’ll draw and label a detailed diagram of a leaf while learning what each part does—and why it’s so important. You may not even realize some of these parts exist, but you’re sure to be fascinated by them as you compare different kinds of leaves in your nature journal.
