Leaf Detective

You are on a forest floor. It is dark. It is cool. It is shady. The


big, high trees shade you. They keep the sun from burning
you. They keep the forest cool. You look at the plants close to
you. You look at the plants, low on the forest floor. Think
about the leaves on the low plants. Think like a detective. Do
you think the leaves will be big or little? Plants need sun.
They need sunlight to grow. They need sunlight to make food.
Plants on the forest floor have big leaves. The leaves are very
large. The big leaves let the plant make the best use of any
light that reaches them.
The big, high trees block
the sunlight. They make the forest dark and shady. Still,
the plants on the forest floor can live. They can get
enough sunlight with their big, large leaves. One plant
lives in the water. The plant is a water lily. It lives in
jungles. Each water lily has 40 to 50 leaves. The leaves
float on top of the water. They are very large. Each leaf
is about six feet (1.8 meters) across! The leaves are
strong. A child can walk across them! Think about the
jungle water lily leaves. Think like a detective. How
does a water lily keep fish from eating its leaves? Some
leaves feel smooth. Leaves of the giant water lily are not smooth. The bottoms of the leaves
are covered. They are covered in spines. The spines are sharp. The sharp spines keep fish
from eating the leaves. Some trees have leaves that taste bad. Think like a detective. Why
do some plants have bad-tasting leaves? If a leaf tastes bad, they will not be eaten. Insects
and animals do not like bad-tasting leaves.
