Last week we worked with apples. We tasted and made a graph of which flavor we liked the best. On Friday we made applesauce with apples that the children brought. We put them in a crockpot in the morning with sugar and cinnamon and before we went home we enjoyed our applesauce. This week we will be doing different experiments with pumpkins.
