Apple Tasting Project

One of the many things that I love about being at First Place Early Learning is the children guide their learning. Our Scholars are very curious and asked many questions. When questions are asked instead of answering them right away, we at first place Early Learning Center find ways to explore and let them find the answers for themselves.

Which brought about our Apple tasting project. So, when a student posed the question do all apples taste alike? We created an apple tasting project. First, we bought five different type of apples which varied in colors. Secondly, we show them to the class naming each one. We then revisited the question do all apples taste alike?

We then began Apple tasting investigation. We sliced the apples and let the children taste each apple. After tasting the five apples the question was posed again do all apples taste alike? While there was a resounding no some still sitting yes. They then decided among themselves which apples they like best.

Which caused us to create an apple graph. The children then found the names or wrote their names under the apples that they liked best. A few children then counted and wrote the numbers below to represent which apples were the favorites.
