Rebecca, Here are some ideas.1. Do patterning activities using red, yellow and green apples.
2. Sequence an apple being eaten - whole, one bite, several bites, core.
3. Graph students' favorite fruits
4. Eat oranges or tangerines and save the seeds. Plant them in peat moss pots, cover with plastic baggies. They should sprout in 1 to 2 weeks.
5. Eat an unusual fruit or vegetable. Do a shared writing about how it tastes. "Michael says it tastes _______." perhaps.
6. Compare and contrast fruits to vegetables. Use a Venn diagram.
7. Cut slices of potato, apple or other solid fruit | |
or vegie and let them mold. Look at the mold under a microscope or hand lens.
8. Cut the tops off of carrots and stand them in a bowl of water. They will grow greens.
9. Stick 3 toothpicks in a sweet potato and hang it halfway down in a jar of water. It will root and create lush foliage.
10. Test vegetables and fruits for starch content. (Use a drop of iodine and watch it change color. Do not allow students to handle the iodine - it's poisonous.)There are so many ways to approach this subject. I hope you and your students have fun!
