Once upon a time, there was a store that sold only cycles. One day, a chemical spill occurred and all the cycles started to grow leaves! The store owner was confused until he learned about photosynthesis. He realized the cycles were using the sun to produce energy through photosynthesis.
In the fall, all the leafy cycles were ready for their big debut in the annual cycle parade. The townspeople were amazed by the cycle-trees and cheered them on as they rode by. From that day on, the store became known as the "Cycle-Tree Store" and was a hit with kids everywhere.

Reflections

1. Why did the cycles grow leaves?
2. What was the store owner's reaction when he saw the leafy cycles?
3. How did the cycles produce energy?
4. What happened in the annual cycle parade in the fall?
5. Why is the store now called the "Cycle-Tree Store"?
