Johnny Appleseed

Ahhhh!!! My favorite time of the year...FALL! I just love everything about fall cool weather, football, and of course apples! This week we celebrate Johnny Appleseed's birthday by learning about him, making crafts and trying plenty of yummy apple treats. To start our week we read the story about the little house with no doors, no windows, and a star inside.
Then we made apple projects at home. The kids were told to be creative and make something, anything, from an apple. And they did a fabulous job!



For our last activity yesterday, we cut up an apple and placed a piece in 6 different cups. We added, water, honey, apple, juice, grape juice, orange juice and air to the cups to see which would keep the apples from turning brown.
We voted on which we thought would do the best and our decision was that the honey would work the best. We recorded our predictions in our science journals means checked back today to see what worked. 
We found that orange juice did the best!
