Apple Experts?!

It's fall, which means it's the season of APPLES! Throughout the past 2 weeks, we have learned everything there is to know about an apple... making us apple experts! (well...almost!)

We've practiced and practiced and practiced the life cycle of an apple (I can hear the song in my head...seed, sprout, tree, blossom, apple!)

 
 

We've identified and labeled the parts of an apple.
~seeds, core, skin, flesh, leaf~


We've had an apple tasting where we tasted red, yellow, and green apples of different brands. We even graphed which one was our favorite! As you can see, the sour, green one wins again!

                    

We've made homemade applesauce! Because what's an apple unit without applesauce?! 

By the way...the applesauce was a huge hit! YUM!

 

 

We've connected our apple unit to our 5 senses and talked about what we see, taste, smell, hear and feel. 

And most importantly- we've had FUN learning about all things apple. 
Next: We take on PUMPKINS!
