Science experiemnet 1

Fruit or vegetable?
Resources: different foods such as; tomato, carrot, avocado, orange, potato, starwberry ect., chopping board and a knife.

Classifying foods as fruits or vegetables.

Cut all of the foods in half.
Look at the insides an see if you can see a seed or not.
If there is a seed then the food is classified as a fruit (avocado and tomato are classified as fruits).
Explain this to the child/children.
Ask the child/children to decide whether the rest are fuits or vegetables.

Once finished enjoy the great taste of the fruits and vegetables!
I like to do this one at lunch time.
