Human Body lesson 3 and 4

Observations

• This apple is really cool one of the first things I noticed was how the inside of the apple was amazing because the white part had lots of amazing lines and sparkles on it.
• On the bottom there was pieces of fuzz almost like a feather.
• On the bottom there was also some brown dots which was maybe from parts of the vine or maybe even pesticides.
• I saw that the core went all the way through the apple and to the middle.
• It was cool how the apple turned brown as the the minuets went by.
• It was amazing how the out side of the apple was lots of different shades of Yellows, Reds, and Greens.
• I'm wondering how the seeds got into the slots that they did and how they stayed there.
• It was weird how fragile and soft the apple was because when I rubbed the tooth pick against it it made lots of little scratches and marks.
  • The slots that held the seeds were really detailed with lots of little lines and little crevasses
  • The inside of the apple where the seeds were is really cool because it seemed to hollow and really detailed.
  • The inside of the seeds were really cool because it was pure white almost like the inside of a coconut. 
    

Reflection Questions

• Why were you able to observe so many things about your apple today?
• Why is observation and description so important in science?
• Rank order the five senses in the order or your observations (i.e. which sense was used most, second most, etc.).

Answers

1. I was able to observe so much because I used all of my senses and I used a magnifying glass to help observe even better. 
2. Observation and description is so important in science because you always want to look harder at something then just taking a little glance at something and saying lots of things that aren't descriptive and easy to find.
3. The five senses in order from greatest to least are touch, sight, smell, hearing, and taste.
