I'm trying to incorporate more science experiments in my classroom this year. My 1st and 2nd graders had such a wonderful time with our Apple Experiment. An apple experiment is a great way to tie your fall activities together, especially if you are planning a trip to the apple orchard. Here is what you need to do your own class experiment. 4 jars oil vinegar water an apple magnifying glasses a knife to cut the apple recording sheet (available at end of blog post) Place a quarter of the apple in each jar. Have the students add oil to one jar, vinegar to another, and water to the third. Leave the fourth one to have only air. We labeled the jars and observed the apples for a week. My students were constantly checking on the apples throughout each day. This picture shows the beginning of the experiment. This picture shows the end of the experiment. What happened? The apple,exposed to air, started to oxidize. The apple in the vinegar had brown spots all over it. The apples in the water oxidized a bit, but compared to the other apples in liquid it wasn't that much. In the oil, the apples also oxidized a bit. Another liquid to use in this experiment would be lemon juice. Definition of oxidize-when the apples come in contact with the oxygen in the air and begin to react by turning brown. When we were finished we documented the results. My little guys have begged for more experiments ever since! Click here to get this document for free.
