The Apple
The apple is a dark red color and it has a glossy shine to it on the outside "skin". It smells crisp, sweet and honey-like. The smell kind of reminds me of a warm, breezy, summer day. When I pushed on the cut part of the apple, apple juice popped up. The apple felt cold and damp, like there was a ton of juice under the surface, waiting to come out. On the skin part there were tiny little white dots, and when I looked at them with a magnifying glass, they looked like little scabs. When I looked at the cut part with a magnifying glass, it looked like it was made up of tiny little bubbles of apple juice. In the seed pocket there were little cracks, and coming through them were tiny little pieces of natural fuzz that you could only see with a magnifying glass. When I started to poke the apple with the tip of my pencil, I heard crunching sounds which were probabaly made by the little bubbles popping.
Reflection
Reflection
- Why were you able to observe so many things about your apple today?
- Why is observation and description so important in science?
- Rank order the five senses in the order or your observations (i.e. which sense was used most, second most, etc.).
- I was able to observe so many things because I looked very closely and spent lots of time trying to find out what was odd or out of the ordinary.
- It's so important because that's what science is all about. You have to observe then write it down with good describing words.
- First is sight, second is touch, third is smell, and last is hear.
