PARENT RESOURCES:

“Sevierville has always been a popular field trip destination. But this year, many of our popular attractions stepped up to also offer great educational experiences to students online. Whether through simple YouTube videos, Facebook lives, or educational components on their websites, these Sevierville area attractions keep learning fun.”

“During the Spring and Summer, a tree uses its leaves to transform sunlight into energy to help it grow. This process of photosynthesis is helped along by molecules of chlorophyll, which makes leaves green. But as temperatures dip in the fall, chlorophyll breaks down and other pigments, which have been hiding behind the green, are revealed—bright reds, oranges, and yellows. With rubbing alcohol and a coffee filter, you can coax these vibrant molecules out of the leaf and onto paper for your viewing pleasure; the process is called chromatography. Ready to try it?”
