Apples & blubber!

We did an semi-impromtu unit on apples last week. We read a few books and tried several different kinds. I got out my trusty Handbook of Nature and read about apple trees and we did a few of the experiments. We never did get around to making apple pie.

This week we ended our unit on seals and sea lions and did a quick experiment on how blubber works. I opted for shortening for the

blubber(tho I had several people offer me theirs!). They did get to experience how the blubber keeps them warm. Now they also know why dad stays warmer than mom!!!!HA Just kidding!
