Apple Stacking STEM activity

Our Late Start STEM activity was dealing with apples.  After reading the story, "Ten Apples Up
On Top," we tried to walk around the room with ONE apple on our head.  Not easy to do!
Next we tried stacking our apples, yes they were fake apples, like the characters in the story did.  This wasn't easy either.

Monica and Makayla working.
Jerzi and Sierra working as a great team until Jerzi let go and down it came.

"Oh No," said Reata.  "We have to start again."  Camden doesn't look to happy about going again.
"I had it," said Juan, "until Payton let go."
The most we could successfully stack on top were three little apples.  When we added a fourth one, it always toppled over.

"Ok Mrs. Butler, this isn't easy.  We had three and down they went," said Avery as she and Novah try once more.
