This week we began learning all about apples. We began on Monday by reading the non-fiction book Apples by Gail Gibbons. Then we had an apple taste test where students each sampled a piece of a red apple, yellow apple, and green apple. Students then picked their favorites and we graphed our results. The most popular apple in our class was yellow.
Next students examined the different parts of an apple including: a seed, core, flesh, skin, and bottom. They took notes in their special apple books.
On Tuesday we did several experiments with apples. We started by predicting whether we thought an apple would sink or float. Many students thought that the apple would sink -- but we found out that it floated!
Students also had a chance to use balance scales to determine if different classroom objects were heavy or lighter than an apple.
We ended our short week by playing Learning Bingo with our 6th grade buddies! We had lots of fun during this all school event!
