It is STEM week! We actually do lots of STEM activities every day – we work out maths calculations, we build models with different materials, we use the smart board to play games for literacy and numeracy and a whole host of other STEM related tasks.
This week, we did an experiment to see how apples change over time and what liquid helps to protect them from discolouring. Every day, the children were so excited to see what had happened to the apples. They were fascinated with it! We made our own predictions and then we recorded the results. We found out that salty water and lemon juice protected them from turning brown and they stayed fresh. The apples that were sitting on a paper towel, in coke, and in water turned brown very quickly!
