Do apples sink or float? Kindergarten students at Rosa Parks Elementary School celebrated Johnny Appleseed’s birthday (Sept. 26) with Apple Week activities and experiments. They peeled and cored apples to make crock pot applesauce and tasted different types of apples.

Legend has it that Johnny Appleseed traveled with a tin pot on his head that he used for cooking. The students enjoyed testing this accessory for themselves.

And the conclusion of students’ sink-or-float experiment? Apples float. So have fun bobbing for apples at your next fall gathering.
