Think and Wonder. Wonder and Think.   Dr. Seuss.

Division !0 wonders about many things.  We wondered if an apple would sink or float.  We decided to do an experiment to answer our question.  First we made a prediction and made a class graph.  Then we tried it out.

We also wondered about what would weigh more, less or the same as an apple.  Here we are hard at work.Ask me what I discovered.

Division 10 made apple sauce this week.  Here are the steps we followed:

1. Wash your hands and the apples.
2. Peel the apples and take out the core.
3. Cut the apples into small pieces.
4. Cook the apples.
5. Mash the apples.
6. Add cinnamon.
7. Eat!  Yummy!

Division 10 went on a fieldtrip to Dave’s Orchard.  The main crops grown there are apples and potatoes.  They also grow beans, beets, cabbage, carrots, sweet corn, cucumbers, gourds and pumpkins. 

We got to see how fruits and vegetables grow.  We also got to pick fresh produce as we walked around the fields.  We learned many interesting facts about agriculture from the farmer.
