Understanding Photosynthesis with Max Axiom – Reader’s Theater Page 1 of 1
Max – Fall: Plants need photosynthesis to survive, but in cold climates some plants lose this ability. As days grow shorter in the fall, these plants stop producing green chlorophyll. The leaves reveal brilliant red, orange, and yellow colors. Eventually, the leaves fall off altogether.
Max – Winter: How do these plants survive the long, cold winter without photosynthesis? They become dormant and rely on energy stored during the growing season.
Max – Spring: In spring, the photosynthesis process starts again. Longer days, warmer temperatures, and wetter weather awakens the plants. Soon, small leaf buds burst from their branches.
Max – Summer: In no time, the leaves are soaking up the sun’s summer rays and turning energy into food again.
