In this video, Pexi the Alien asks Alexi why leaves change colors. Alexi explains that leaves make their own food. During the summer, trees take carbon dioxide from the air and water from the ground and make their own food using sunlight and chlorophyll. Trees stop making food in fall therefore making chlorophyll go away. Some leaves are read due to trapped food and some are brown due to waste in leaves. Content is appropriate for elementary students and video would work well in conjunction with a lesson/unit/story on seasons and/or fall.

This educational music video from Silly Bus uses music and close-up video images to teach young children about fall leaves. Some of the lyrics include, "Looking out the window and what do I see out on the limbs of a big tall tree? Many different colors blowing in the breeze. Falling down to the ground, the autumn leave. Grab a rake. We're gonna make a pile of leaves with our friends..." Run time 01:36.

Plants have specialized leaves that adapt to their environment. Some
plants grow spikes to protect them from predators, while others grow
traps for insects. This 2:27 long video shows how different leaves have modified themselves to survive. A good video with a variety of plants. The meat eating plants are sure to keep the students' interest.

This short, four-minute video gives excellent real life footage of a colony of Leaf-Cutter Ants chewing off leaves and transporting them to their colony. Atta cephalotes is a leaf-cutting, fungus-growing ant, with one of the most fascinating and complex social systems known to science. Colonies of this leaf-cutter ant species contain millions of individuals, making it possibly the most dominant invertebratein Central and South America. Students will enjoy the fast motion close ups of the ants climbing up and down trees and across landscape to nest. This is a great resource to help build background knowledge and to help make real world connections between nature and the classroom.

Leaves have an intricate web of veins that transport nutrients and water and provide structural support. But what determines the pattern of venation? Physicists Marcelo Magnasco and Eleni Katifori, of The Rockefeller University, investigated this question using sophisticated algorithms and a little glow-in-the-dark dye.(5min)
