Math is fun, and delicious too!

 Today we worked our mathematical minds, in a very fun and delicious way. We have been hearing lots of talk about visits to apple orchards and pumpkin patches so we decided to see what kind of apples everyone likes to eat. 

First we made a place to track our data.


Next we prepped our apples (Honey Crisp, Golden Delicious, and Granny Smith)


Then, we taste tested! It was a very in depth, scientific method we took. We discussed what the name of each apple was and how that name may tell us a little bit about how the apple might taste.
This one is called honey crisp, what do you know about how honey tastes?
It's sweet!
The bees make it!
RIGHT - so if honey is sweet how might a honey crisp taste?
LIKE HONEY!
YES!
IT'S SWEET!!!










Finally, we needed to document out data. What a great way to practice writing our names. We always look for ways to write our letters, especially in the correct order!






Then we stuck our names to the column of the apple we liked best! Can you predict what apple will win? We guessed, and were wrong! 





Which apple would you choose?!

Science Experiment

One of our favorite science activities is using baking soda and vinegar.  There are so many different ways to experiment with them.  Check out the video below for a fun idea!  I also like to add food coloring to small cups/jars of vinegar.  You can use any kind of dish to spread out baking soda.  Then with a dropper add the different colors of vinegar to it.  You can use medicine droppers, straws, or even small spoons to add the liquid to the powder. What did you observe?  Here is how it went out at our house. Kennedy and Keegan in action  Even my 5th grader Kellan was amazed!  When they were done they wanted to pour the cups out to see what would happen.  So cool!
