This resource is excellent. I would highly recommend it.

This was a perfect lesson for my older school garden club members.

I’m not sure what the students like more — crushing the leaves with the mortar and pestle, or seeing the colours that came out of them the next day! A few weeks later, I brought in the leaves from the same trees (I used Oak, Maple, Buckeye, Ginko and Beech) , which had finally changed in colour. We matched them up! It was awesome! Thanks for the fun learning opportunity, Catherine!

Students loved this project and were very engaged throughout. Surprisingly the leaf rubbing was a BIG hit and everything included in the resource was well scaffolded.
