    Wow! I appreciate your clarity. Our Pre-K will be able to grasp this concept thanks to your presentation. As a teacher, I especially liked your "secrect ingedient" approach. Very effective! Keep up the good work!

    The intensity of the sun ray is less in fall and winter. That also causes photosynthesis to drop drastically.

    Great video! I am curious about the part where you said the chlorophyll was being drawn into the tree and stored. Do you have a source where I can learn more about that? Thanks!

      +Shane Fog Hello Shane Fog....We are aiming at younger learners. But here is an explanation of how the chlorophyll is recycled. First it is broken into amino acids, then stored, then "next spring they are recycled to re-leaf the tree". See below.
      Chlorophylls degrade into colorless tetrapyrroles known as nonfluorescent chlorophyll catabolites (NCCs).[9] As the chlorophylls degrade, the hidden pigments of yellow xanthophylls and orange beta-carotene are revealed. These pigments are present throughout the year, but the red pigments, the anthocyanins, are synthesized de novo once roughly

    I understand from your words that if we put green leaf in the alcohol becomes yellow or brown in the sense of alcohol loses green color?

      You also need sunlight to keep the leaf green. A leaf away from a tree will die, just like if you cut an arm from a person.

    Mmm if those leaves change colors due to lack of light, why places like the West, California per say, don’t suffer the change of color ?

      Only certain species of trees lose their green. They are a different species.
