The Plant Fairy
Look at the rubbings made by the others. Are the rubbings of different plants similar?
No, the rubbings of different plants are different due to differences in the texture of their leaves and trunks.
Which leaf gave a good rubbing?
The leaves, whose texture is very rough, gave a good rubbing.
Do all the leaves have similar colours, shapes and margins?
No, all the leaves shown in the image are of different colours, shapes, and margins. The leaves show different shades of green. Some of these leaves are purple, yellow and red also. The leaf margins are also different—some have straight or uneven margins while others have saw-like margins.
In case of which tree was the rubbing of the trunk difficult? Why?
The rubbing was difficult on the trees with smooth, soft, and plain-textured trunks (for example, mango tree) compared to the trees with hard and rough trunks. This happened because the hard surface gave imprints very easily.
