- This apple is a lot smaller than the apples I eat.
- Around the cut off stem, it suddenly turns into a greenish color.
- By the seeds, there is a brownish circle around it.
- Behind the seeds, you can barely see that it is a little hallow.
- A ton of greenish brownish dots surround the skin of the apple.
- At the top of the cut open half of the apple, you can see a little bit of the stem through the flesh.
- Only half of the seeds are covered by flesh in the middle of the apple.
- In the flesh, I can see visible vanes going all around the seeds.
- The main color of the skin of the apple is a greenish red.
- Overtime, when the apple gets brown, the vanes become more visible
- The top outer flesh is not turning brown
- Deeper into the center, there is another seed that makes me wonder why the seed looks different.
- The deeper you get into the apple, the more seeds you find and they are more wet.
- Overtime, I noticed that the seeds turn more and more gray overtime.

Touch was the sense that I used the second most I usually felt what the skin, the flesh, and the seeds were like so that I could describe them. 3. Smell was the sense that I used third most. I don't really think I used smell that often and to me, an apple has a very basic smell to it. 4. Hear was the sense that I used fourth most. During the whole lesson, I flicked the apple with my finger to try to hear something, but it didn't work 5. Taste was the sense that I used fifth most. Mr. Solarz said we couldn't even eat the apple. You can't taste somethings without eating it. |
