Kavi's Leaf Lab
Kavi tips a basket of leaves 🍃 onto the lab table — round ones, pointy ones, big ones, tiny ones! "Scientists don't just pile them up," hoots Kavi, picking up a ruler 📏. "We look closely at each shape, we measure how big it is, then we sort them and keep a tally of what we find. Grab a leaf — let's sort like real scientists!"

2Round or pointy?Be the scientist! Tap the right box for each leaf shape.
3Our leaf tallyAfter sorting, we count each pile and draw a bar. The taller the bar, the more leaves we found. This is our tally chart!
4Measure, then recordScientists look, measure, then write it down. Predict each one, then tap Next test → for more!

A peek inside
I have a pointy willow leaf 🍃 and a round clover leaf 🍀. How do I sort them by shape?
I put all the pointy leaves in one pile and all the round leaves in another pile.
