We have been learning about how researchers look closely and notice tiny details. Researchers wonder about things and record their observations. The researchers in Room 408 looked closely at this contraption and wondered about its use:
We put the contraption under the document projector and drew it with as many details as we could. We also predicted what we thought certain parts were and labeled them.
Many students could confirm their predictions about the parts and use of this machine. Once we found out it was an apple peeler, they each got to test out and observe it in action.

| Such concentration! |
 |
| They even looked closely as they peeled. |
 |
| Most enjoyed the spoils! |
 |
| That's a long apple peel! |
 |
| Sticking your tongue out helps with concentration... |
After we peeled our apples, we carved them in hopes that they would turn out to be like the Civil War dried apple dolls like these:
Carving was interesting, to say the least...

As always, sticking your tongue out helps you concentrate!
Here is a video of our apple peeler activity!
Have you ever used an apple peeler? Have you ever made a dried apple head that actually turned out?
