REAL APPLE STEM ACTIVITIES

I love that we used real apples for our activities! If you plan to use the same apples for as many of the activities as possible, check out which ones use whole apples and do them first {apple gravity and apple balancing}. You may also want to have some inexpensive STEM materials on hand to go along with your apple projects.
