Today for SCI-FRI, our class and Ms. Ramen’s class investigated some unusual fruit and vegetables! Many of these fruits and vegetables are commonly used in different cultures and found in different countries across the world. We used our observational skills to draw a diagram and describe each of the fruit and vegetables. Do you recognize any of these fruits/vegetables?

Below, left to right: pomegranate, young coconut, apple pear
After we made our observations, we cut open the fruit and vegetables to examine the inside. We noticed there were many different colours and shapes of seeds. Many of us have tried these fruits and vegetables before!

Some questions to consider:
-Why are some of these fruits and vegetables commonly eaten in some countries and not others?
-How could we learn more about all the interesting, tasty, and unusual fruits and vegetables in the world?
