Apple Science Experiment

Apple Science Experiment
Fall is here and apples are everywhere! We have been having fun with apple books and crafts and decided to do a little apple experimenting too. The kids love acid and base reactions, but this time instead of combining them we observed to see what effects they would have on apples. We began by choosing which acids and bases we were going to use. After some Googling we found out that Milk of Magnesia is a base too! The kids made predictions about what would happen to the apples and wrote them in their notebooks. They next morning we checked on them and saw some changes! We had hypothesized that the ones in the apples would stay fresh the longest and now realized our prediction was not going to come true. The next day all of the apples were even more brown except the ones in lemon juice! This was an easy experiment to set up with the kids!

Healthy Snacks for Kids: Energy Balls | The NY Melrose Family - Part 2 For easy and portable healthy snacks for kids that they will love to munch on, and you can easily pack for when you are on the go, grab a few ingredients and roll up a quick batch of Cinnamon Caramel Apple Energy Balls. I’m always behind on the trends. My sister is the stylish one, and I’m the jeans and t-shirt girl. It’s a good thing I have two little boys. If I had girls, well, I’d be in trouble. Home decor – forget it. You would think that the one place I would be totally ahead of, or at least on top of the trends is in the food world. Except now all of a sudden bars are so last year. However, while my boys do like munching on all of these snacks at home, when I am going to parks and other places where there are lots of other kids around, I try to consider that there could be other little ones with nut allergies. These Cinnamon Caramel Apple Energy Balls are a perfect snack for packing in your bag when you are heading out for a day of fun. Healthy Snacks for Kids: Energy Balls Enjoy!
