SCIENCE DISCOVERY

Over the weekend I found an orangish yellowish plant. It is called jewelweed. I found it at my friends camp. It grew on a little bush like thing. If you had one that hadn't bloomed yet and you touched it it would curl up and, the seed would fall out. Before it had bloomed it was green and kind of looked like a small green peanut. The juice from the stem cures poison ivy.

blooms august through September.

SCIENCE DISCOVERY

Over the weekend I wondered why trees lose their leaves. When I went home and looked it up. I had found that trees lose their leaves so they can store water in their trunks during the cold harsh winter.
