Science Discovery What color are leaves on a tree? Usually green right? Well you are wrong because leaves are actually any color but green. Leaves can't take in the color green from the sun's rays so it eventually bounces back into our eyes and we see leaves as the color green. Does everything with color follow this rule? most likely.

Science Discovery Chocolate is very popular around the world. Chocolate comes in different shapes, sizes, and colors, and also is used in candies and is topped on fruit and other deserts. Why is chocolate so popular? Because of it's sweet taste. Companies usually make the wrapper look cool and unique so people will buy their candy, but its not about the design, it is about the chocolate. If a candy has a nice looking wrapper, you may be tempted to buy it, but you should look for what ingredients are in the candy to see if there is any allergy warnings. Some chocolate candies might not have nuts in it, but it may be made in a place that processes nuts. In fact, chocolate starts out as a nut or so called a bean. the Cocoa bean is picked off a tree and sent to a factory, where it will be processed and made into chocolate. When it arrives at the factory, the shell is taken off and inside the shell is the piece of the bean used to make chocolate. It is melted and churned so all the little pieces are mixed together. Then ingredients are added into the mix, such as sugar and other ingredients.
