"I want to be a scientist"

Apple Day was very exciting. Here we are all set up.
The math portion of the day including graphing apples by stems/no stems and color, and comparing the sets using vocabulary terms like "more" and "fewer". We also measured apple height and weight.
We predicted if they would sink or float. Many were surprised by the result. If we guessed wrong, it means that we learned something!
We recorded our information, because that's what scientists do! When we were discussing our favorite parts of apple day, one student said "I want to be a scientist when I grow up!"
It's a little hard to make out, but below is what happened to the seeds we dug out. They, along with some apple shampoo, were turned into a squish bag so we could practice writing S.
As we went through the seasons of an apple tree, we made a really neat art project.
Our last apple day event was eating the fruit of our labor. We observed it with our senses of sight, smell, and finally - taste. MMMMMMM. The warm applesauce was delicious... at least to some.
