Apple Schema

We have started to learn about apples.  We started in both classes by creating a poster of a large apple.  We then put all the things we think we know on our apple schema paper.

That happened yesterday.  I noticed that some of the children believed that apples would sink and others believed they would float.  We started by placing our name in one of the columns.  Then on to our first experiment.  

 








When we did this experiment we tried it with three different types of apples.  (Granny Smith, Golden Delicious and MacIntosh).  Each child was able to choose one apple and place it in the water.  Wow!  Look all of the apples no matter what colour floated.


Then we looked at the different characteristics of each apple.  What makes each of them special and unique.

Then on to experiment number two.  The taste test and graphing the apples we liked the best.
