Monday, we looked at the life cycle of an apple. We even acted out with our bodies what it would be like to complete the apple life cycle. In order to share our learning we made a life cycle to bring home.
Tuesday, we looked at whether various objects from the classroom would sink or float in water. We then took our learnings to create a prediction (our best guess) about what would happen with apples. We graphed our class predictions and then found out that apples DO FLOAT! We drew a picture to show what happened and to share with our families.
Wednesday, we explored the question "How can we keep apple slices from turning brown?" We use 5 different liquids (water, soda water, lemon juice, soda, and vinegar) and a control to try and find a solution. We observed the apples right when we put them in the liquids, 3 hours later and then the next day. We found that water and lemon juice kept the apples from turning brown best.
Thursday, we made apple sauce! Students got to help prepare the apple sauce by cutting the apples into small bits and then after cooking it in the crockpot, we smashed the apples. Then we got to eat it and it was delicious! Mr. O even came and had a try!
Friday, we discussed how in the world there can be physical and chemical changes. We then created a chemical change of our own by making Apple-Canos!
What a great week!
