Apples!

Our class has been learning about apples this term! Here are some highlights from our apple exploration.

 

We used our sense of smell, sight, touch and hearing to explore the apple trees in our park.

“The bug is eating the apple!”

“Ew! The apple smells bad!”

“This one is rotten.”

“The tree is bumpy.”

“I hear something inside!”

“I hear nothing.”

 

We used our sense of taste to find out which apple is our favourite – red, yellow or green.

“The red one is crunchy and hard.”

“The Green one is very sour!”

“The yellow is really good!”

We found out most people like the red apple! It’s a tie for the green apple and the yellow apple.

 

We did an experiment to see if the apple will sink or float.  The predictions were 10 for it will sink and 5 for it will float! We were pretty excited to see it float!

We are Engineers

Division 11 had so much fun thinking, creating and solving problems with one another! The Applied design, skills and technologies (ADST) curriculum encourages children to think, design and build.  We explored with simple tools and technologies that can help us with our ideas and extend our capabilities. We were able to develop our skills through play and teamwork.
