You could find out: Where is it grown in the world? How does it grow? How long does it take to grow? How is it picked / dug up? What can the fruit / vegetable be used for? What other fruits or vegetables is it similar to? After you have researched, you can present your findings out with facts, maps, drawings, photographs, pictures, headings, paragraphs etc. Research: How many types of one kind of fruit are there? E.g. How many different varieties of apple are there? Find out about some world record breaking fruits and vegetables. E.g, What is the longest carrot that has ever grown? What is the heaviest marrow that has ever grown? Draw, paint or make: A collage of your favourite fruits / vegetables. A painting or drawing of your favourite fruit / vegetable.
