10 Apples up on Top!

In first and second grade, we have been doing several activities with apples.
First, we read the book by Theo. LeSieg called Ten Apples up on Top!
We checked to see how many apples we could stack on our table. Our predictions were not very close.  We tried different strategies and wrote in our journals. Then we tried to stack them on our heads.  Here are the pictures:





                   


The next day we had to design and build an apple carrier out of just a few materials, like pipe cleaners, cards, popsicle sticks, paper and straws.  We had to be able to carry at least three apples for ten steps.  It was fun. Tomorrow we are experimenting with rotting apples.
