The Sour Fruit

Yesterday our class checked out some yellow fruit that was sitting on the table. 
"I think it's a lemon!"
"It is so big!"
"Lemons are yellow, that's definitely a lemon."

The kids were able to explore the fruit in whatever means they wished. Many chose to use the magnifying glass to look a little closer at the skin of the yellow fruit. 
"It's really yellow, and there's a little bit of brown too."
"It has like little holes and dots on it!"
"I have never seen a lemon like this."


Others chose to draw the lemon. They picked up yellow crayons and began drawing large yellow circles on their papers. 
"I am going to make it big like this one!"
"It's so yellow, it looks like the sun!"




Although the kids got to smell, touch, and look at the lemons, they weren't satisfied. 
"Will we get to eat it?" 
"I think it will be sour!"
"It might be kind of sweet?"
"We could make lemonade!"

Today, the kids got to taste the lemons. Watch the video to see how it went 😊

They worked purposefully and explained the different parts as they worked.  "We need to cut out a circle for it to be the telescope." B, V, & E continued to work with one another and make compromises throughout their building in order to make the best version of a submarine as they could.  The three finished building their submarine, but noticed something was missing.  "It needs a propeller so it can move!" How could they make a propeller? What does a propeller look like? The kids got to work on some research about wh...
