Objective: Students will investigate apples using their senses, explore the life cycle and external and internal anatomy, as well as apply math skills and writing skills to apple learning. 

Directions: Students investigated apples for the month of September. Students  measured apples, read and watched apple facts videos, learned the life cycle of apple trees and all its parts, taste-tested different apples and apple favored items, constructed a bar graph from our taste-test results, and created an artistic expression of apples on their own heads!  We read the story: Ten Apples Up On Top! before choosing our number of apples individually to count, stack and write for our own visual presentations. We experimented with the question: Will an apple sink or float? After giving our predictions and reasoning, we tested it! Yes our first apple floated! This observation and answer lead to another question: Will other colors of apples besides red float too? So, we tested a green and yellow apple! Every apple we had in our room floated. In conclusion, we made the generalization from our experiments and observations that all apples float! We also discussed density and buoyance. We then gathered factual information about apples and constructed complete sentences to reflect our learning. Our hallway displayed much of our wonderful apple learning!
