Apple Tasting Using Our Five Senses: A Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic, and Tactile Learning Experience

Before tasting apples, 6B reviewed our five senses.  Having learned about our senses in science, with Ms. Waters, we were quite knowledgeable. 
 We discussed how we could use our five senses to explore apples.

We used our eyes to identify different types of apples. Our noses helped us smell the apples.
Our hands helped us feel the apples. We noted the different textures of the apples skin and flesh.
Our mouths tasted the apples.
Our ears helped us hear the crunching sound as we bit into and chewed the apples.

To vote for our favorite apple we placed a small manipulative behind the plate. We then went to the carpet to discuss our experiences before we revealed the results of the apple tasting.
We created a web to describe the way the apples looked, felt, tasted, smelled, and sounded.
Honeycrisp was our favorite apple!

Thank you 6B friends for bringing in apples from home.
