apple and veggies activities
By Rebecca

*Read Johnny Appleseed by Steven Kellogg.(you might even want to get the same story by another author and compare the stories)

*List food made from apples (applesauce, apple pie, apple juice, apple dumplings, etc.)and
taste some of each.
*Graph the students favorite apple food.
*Bring in different types of apples. Have students describe each apple's properties(color, shape, taste,etc.) Then graph favorites.
*Do apple prints (cutting apple to expose the star shape inside).
* On the veggies, Julianne listed a lot of great activities. Also, after showing several veggies, talk about root,

stem, flower, leaf and put the veggies under each category.

*To show how stems take up the water to the parts of a plant, take a stalk of celery and place it in colored water. Have students predict what will happen. Check the celery the next day (and maybe even the next day) and discuss what happened.

* Hope these help. Have Fun!
