Johnny Appleseed and an apple volcano

This week we have been learning about apples and Johnny Appleseed. The kids always look forward to the last day of a unit because they know it will be filled with fun and discovery. I was excited when planning for this week because I realized our science unit over matter would be happening during the same time. I knew I wanted to do something they would remember. Apple volcano!!! We would still be using apples for Johnny Appleseed, and it would also cover solid, liquid, and gas.

(Don't mind me. I always dress up on fun days.)
