COUNTING APPLE SEEDS Materials Apples Plain paper Marker Pencil Apples Sharp knife Activity Purchase three different kinds of apples. On a sheet of plain paper, write “How Many Seeds?” across the top. Write each child’s name underneath. Hold up one of the apples. Ask the children to guess the number of seeds that are inside the apple while you sing the following song. Help the children write their guesses beside their names on the paper. Cut open the apple, remove the seeds, and let the children help you count them. How close were their estimates to the actual number of seeds? Was the actual number of seeds more or less than their guesses? Try the same experiment with a different kind of apple. Sung to: “Frere Jacques” Here’s an apple, Here’s an apple With seeds inside, With seeds inside. Will you guess with me How many seeds we’ll see? How many seeds? How many seeds?

Hang the thermometer outside in a place where the children can see it from inside your room. Talk about what the numbers on the thermometer mean. Show them how to read the thermometer. Explain that the bigger the number, the warmer it is outside; the smaller the number, the colder it is outside. Then make a play thermometer for the children. Cut a 3 x 9-inch rectangle out of heavy cardboard. Use a sharp knife to cut a small slit at the top and the bottom of the rectangle. Cut a 20-inch length of white ribbon. Color half of the ribbon with a red permanent marker. Thread the ribbon through the slits in the cardboard and tie it in the back. Mark the front of the cardboard with the degrees found on your real thermometer. As the temperature changes during the day, have the children change their play thermometer by moving the red part of the ribbon up or down. Variation: Make two play thermometers. Adjust the temperature on one of the thermometers. Ask one of the children to make the other thermometer the same temperature. Or set a different temperature on each play thermometer. Ask the children to tell you which temperature is higher and which is lower. © School Specialty Publishing © McGraw-Hill Children’s Publishing 1-57029-488-7 101 Number Activities 49 Science Download 1.54 Mb.
