Learning With Miss Anderson & Miss Vollmer

We have been very fortunate to have 2 wonderful teacher candidates from MSU in our for the past few weeks. They are with us in the morning to help with morning meetings, whole group reading and small group reading. This week they gave us a taste test. They wanted to determine if we liked a particular brand of apple juice more than the other. The two juices we compared were Motts Apple Juice and Great Value Apple Juice. 

First we compared the two bottles and made predictions about which juice we thought would taste better just based on looks. Here were some of their Predictions: 

The Great Value Juice was lighter, so it must have less sugar. 

The Mott's was better because they have had that kind before.

Great Value was healthier.  

Motts would taste better. 

Then we tested the Juice. Each cup was labeled A or B, so they didn't know which juice they were drinking. Then they individually voted for which juice they preferred.

They graphed their results and their predictions were actually correct! More of the students liked Motts Apple Juice vs. Great Value Apple Juice. 

We had a great time tasting the juices and graphing our results!
Thanks Miss Anderson and Miss Vollmer for the Fun Activity!
