The life cycle of an apple takes us through all four seasons. This is a great learning opportunity to discuss life cycles, the four seasons and so much more!
Videos to check out:
Apple Life Cycle— This one is done in CGI
Life Cycle of an Apple Tree— this one has a fun song to learn and sing along
Life Cycle of an Apple— this one is kids telling kids
Flower to Fruits— this is a time lapse going from the apple flower to picking the apple off the tree.
Today we are going to work on a four square of this life cycle. I will show you two variations: In the top photo you will see I showed how a seed grows into a tree. The bottom shows how an apple grows on the branches.
The important part of this activity is the process of the growth. Have your child explain how the apple tree/apple grows. If your child is comfortable in their writing process, encourage your child to write labels or sentences to go with the pictures. The important item is the explanation… “Tell me the process” “Why did you draw this in this block?” “What do you think the next step will be?”
