Learn what deciduous means in an easy and fun way designed especially for 7-year-old children, explaining trees and their leaves.
Hello! Let's learn about the word deciduous together.
Deciduous is a special word that we use to talk about certain trees and plants. These trees have leaves that change with the seasons.
During the warm months, these trees have lots of green leaves. But when autumn comes and it gets cooler, the leaves change color, like red, yellow, or orange, and then they fall off. This makes the trees look bare during the cold winter.
In spring, new leaves grow again, and the tree looks green and fresh.
So, deciduous trees are trees that lose their leaves every year, instead of keeping them all the time.
Some examples of deciduous trees are maple, oak, and birch.
It's a natural way for trees to rest during the winter and grow new leaves when it gets warmer!
