Each row of squares below has
the letters of a word that can be
found on this page. Read
WRGD\·VKid Scoop page and
then try to unscramble them all.
CROOL
Plants make food in
a process called
photosynthesis.
During summer,
plants take water up
from their roots to
their leaves. They
absorb carbon
dioxide from the air.
These combine to
make chlorophyll
which makes plant
leaves green.
Find the answer in the fall leaf border!
Start here. Then read every other
letter as you move clockwise
around the border.
Photosynthesis
slows in fall as winter
approaches. Trees
and plants live off
their stored food. The
green chlorophyll
disappears leaving
red, orange and
yellow leaves. The
dry, brittle leaves
soon drop from trees
with the help of crisp
autumn breezes.
