Some trees lose their leaves in the cold because they don’t want to waste energy keeping them alive when there’s no sun or water. It's like putting on a coat, it helps you stay warm and saves energy!
Examples
- A maple tree in your backyard drops all its leaves when it gets cold outside.
- The trees in a forest look bare and sleepy during winter, waiting for spring to wake them up.
- You see red and yellow leaves falling from the sky like confetti every October.
