Evaluation
Let's see if you found all the clues during your investigation! You are going to create your own apple and label the parts that you learned about in this WebQuest. You will have a top half of an apple, a middle core, and a bottom half. You will also have 6 words: core, stem, leaf, flesh, seeds, and skin. First, let's use these words and put them in alphabetical order! Then, you will use the words and paste them onto the apple in the correct spot.
Next, complete the last section in your KWL chart about what you learned!
In your journal, use descriptive words to describe your apple. Remember to use our vocabulary words: stem, leaves, skin, seed, etc.
