Apples, apples, everywhere! It’s fall, and that means apples are in season. What better time to bring some apple science into the classroom?
Apple science is a great way to teach elementary students about a variety of science concepts, including teaching about the life cycle of an apple tree!
Looking for a no prep teaching resource for your apple unit? We’ve got you!
Using a PowerPoint on my display board has solved the problem of searching for the perfect book and it allows for all students to see the photos. This has been a game changer for teaching whole group lessons on science topics.
If this sounds like something you must have too, you can find this Life Cycle of an Apple Tree PowerPoint lesson here.
Here are some other ideas for your apple science lessons:
Reading nonfiction books about apples
Watching videos about apple trees
Planting an apple tree in the classroom or schoolyard
Visiting an orchard or taking a virtual field trip
Creating a diagram or model of the life cycle of an apple tree
After all the apple fun is nearly done, you want your students to review what they have learned and demonstrate understanding.
My students LOVE reading their little Life Cycle of an Apple minibook! It’s made from a lunch bag!
It’s an awesome project and a really cute take home book and portfolio work sample. You can check it out here!
