Some trees sleep through winter, while others stay awake. Imagine you're wearing a thick coat and your friend is wearing just a sweater, one of you can handle the cold better. Deciduous trees like oak and maple are like that friend who wears just a sweater; they lose their leaves so they don't have to deal with the cold all year. Evergreen trees, like pine and fir, are like the friend in the thick coat; they keep their leaves all year long.
Examples
- A maple tree loses all its leaves in fall while a pine tree stays green
- In winter, some trees are like humans who wear coats and others just wear sweaters
