Fruit Lab

Today in class, we collaborated with Mrs. Hurlbert's Culinary Arts class to discuss all we have learned about fruits.  Mrs. Hurlbert's class has also been discussing the different types of fruits.  We joined her class and explained the different types of biological fruits.  We also got to sample some yummy fruits in the process!!!  Students were able to sample traditional fruits such as apples, bananas, pears, and strawberries as well as some exotic fruits such as starfruit, papaya, mango, and pepino melons!  As we discussed each fruit, students were asked what type of fruit it was that they were eating.  I think everyone really enjoyed this class collaboration project!!!
