Welcome to our first post! For the past month, we've had some trouble with our camera... So after much frustrations, we had to resort to using our cell phones for these pictures. So please excuse the low quality in these photos.
First,
This week's Science was about apples.
We started with observation.
Thao teacher brought three different kinds of apples: Green, Yellow, and Red.
The students first looked and identified the different colors. They then drew these observations onto their paper. (These papers are collected and later on will be turned into a science notebook.)
Then, the teacher carefully cut each apple in half.
The students first took note on what color the inside of the apple was, then the teach dug out the seed for the students to look at. They were encouraged to describe the seed's color, and size. You would be surprised at the observations! For the Granny Apple's seed (the green apple), a student said it was yellow but brown on the top. Another said that the Red Apple's seeds were a much darker brown than the Yellow Apple's seed.
The students then drew these observations on their paper, underneath their first pictures.
They paid close attention to the color and some even chose to mix colors to get their apple observations as close to the real apple as possible.
Afterwards, it was tasting time!
Some reaction to the Red Apple:
It's Good!
Yellow Apple:
Would you like to try some?
Granny Apple:
Hmmm...
So Sour!
The science groups were divided into two. One group does Science on Wednesday and the other does it on Friday. Please ask Thao teacher for the exact date.
Tomorrow's I will upload: Finger Painting
