1.  I read the story "The Little House With No Doors, No Wondows and a Star Inside."

2. Using our 5 senses we describe the apples and make a chart with the 5 sense headings. (This is posted for use later.)

3. The children break into their teams (3-4 children per team) and complete the apple math sheet using their apples.
   * They predict then weigh their apples using scales and record information.
   *They predict, then measure the circumference of their apples using cloth     tape measures and record the information.
   *They predict, then test, whether their apples will sink of float.

4. I go around and cut their apples, horizontally, to reveal the star and seeds. They count the number of seeds in their apple. We save the seeds and plant them later to see if any will sprout.
They predict, then test, to see whether their cut apples will sink or float.

5.  The children will write a 5 sense poem using the information saved and posted from the opening brainstorming session.

6. We make two graphs to show our favorite apples and our favorite ways to eat apples.
Our pictures and graphs will be coming soon!
