All About Apples And Johnny Appleseed!
Do you love teaching about apples...but don't love spending hours pulling together science, literacy, math, and Johnny Appleseed activities from a dozen different places?
This classroom-tested Apple Unit has the planning DONE for you!
With over 200 pages of activities AND detailed lesson plans, you'll have everything you need to turn your apple theme into meaningful, standards-based learning—not just a collection of cute apple activities.
Students will investigate, observe, research, discuss, write, experiment, and build knowledge about apples through hands-on experiences that naturally integrate science, social studies, literacy, and math.
And you'll love being able to open the resource, follow the lesson plans, and TEACH instead of spending your nights searching for the next day's activity.
This isn't just an apple theme—it's knowledge-building learning.
Students will explore how apples grow, investigate their properties using the five senses, conduct experiments, build vocabulary, learn about Johnny Appleseed, graph data, and use what they've learned to talk and write about apples.
That means you're getting more out of your instructional time while students are building content knowledge, oral language, vocabulary, comprehension, writing, math, and critical-thinking skills.
Even better, this unit works with ANY curriculum. Use it alongside your required curriculum to support science and social studies standards, provide the hands-on experiences students need, and make required content easier to implement and more meaningful for young learners.

Your students won't just learn a few facts about apples. They'll investigate apples, ask questions, conduct experiments, build vocabulary, discuss their thinking, and use what they learn across subjects.
And instead of piecing together your apple unit one activity at a time, you'll have 200+ pages and detailed lesson plans ready to go.
Less planning for you. More hands-on learning for them. And an apple unit that's actually helping students build knowledge while meeting standards.
