What's inside this slideshow
- 1
Changing leaves: the orange and yellow were there all along, hidden under the green.
- 2
Apple season: most apples are picked by hand, even today.
- 3
Pumpkin patches: a pumpkin is a fruit — it grows from a flower and carries seeds.
- 4
Corn mazes: farmers design them from above before a single stalk grows.
- 5
Fall fog: cool nights plus warm, moist air make morning clouds on the ground.
5 captioned slides. You control the pace — or turn on autoplay.
Teacher tips
The leaf caption is a genuine mind-blower for most kids — chlorophyll masks the other pigments until fall.
