Fall Apple STEM Pack

Many activities can also be adapted for grade 3.

➡️ Looking for a more focused science resource up to grade 5? The Fall Science Investigations Pack includes hands-on investigations with leaves, seeds, apples, pumpkins, weather, and seasonal change. It places greater emphasis on observation, fair testing, measurement, data collection, and conclusions.

➡️ Looking for preschool activities? The Preschool Apple Project Pack can be found [here].

Who Is This Pack For?

The Apple Project Pack is designed primarily for kindergarten through second grade, with many activities also suitable for third grade.

It works well for classrooms, homeschool, and home learning and is especially useful for planning a complete apple-themed week or seasonal unit.

Younger students can complete the projects with adult guidance, while older students can take on more of the measuring, recording, building, and problem-solving independently.

Use this pack for:

• Apple-themed classroom units
• Fall science and STEM centers
• Homeschool lessons
• Seasonal project days
• Early finisher activities
• Hands-on learning at home
