Welcome to the next step! Now that you have the questions, it's time to begin the research. Click on the links below to learn all about Autumn! When you take notes, make sure you have answered each question completely. Once you've answered all of the questions, you will create a field guide that contains information and images of Evergreen trees and Deciduous trees. In addition, you will write an essay to give some background information about autumn and why leaves change colors. More information about the project and a sample field guide can be found on the Evaluation page.
