An Apple A Day
Posted by Faith BarbutoWe started our week with a fun filled Autumn trip to Silverman’s Farm to pick apples. We took festive pictures, dove into corn pits and had so much fun picking apples! Each child brought home a bag of apples but what they didn’t know was they were really bringing home a bag of science experiments. On Tuesday, each child brought in a peeled cored apple and we added them to a crock pot to make homemade applesauce. We made predictions about how it would taste and marveled over how the shape and texture of the apples were completely changed by the heat. Our next experiment was to see if an apple would float. Then we made predictions about what was inside the apples and we cut into the apples to find out. We learned how to read a diagram and found out that hidden inside every apple is the shape of a star. We tasted lots of different apples and made a graph to show our favorite color. We also studied how an apple grows and made a life cycle to review the four seasons of an apple tree! How do you like them apples?
