For our discovery science project, Junior Infants explored the strand of Living Things. Within this, we investigated fruit within the strand unit variety and characteristics of plants.
Firstly we examined a variety of different kinds of fruits. We examined the smell, size, texture and look of them. We then washed our hands and cut up the fruit and had a taste test.
We tasted apples, pears, tangarines, grapes, strawberries, bananas and a lemon! We had to then decide which fruit we liked the best.
Here are some photos of us tasting the fruits.
We then wrote our name on sticky paper and decided which we liked the best by placing the paper on the bar chart. After all the names were placed on the chart we viewed all the data and discussed the results.
From our findings, we discovered that the apple was our favourite fruit. The pear got no votes and even the lemon got 5 votes!!
We then documented our results into a worksheet, showing the results of our experiment. We labelled the fruit in our diagrams and coloured it in when finished.
When we had our project completed, we went into Senior Infants to tell them all about our findings.
