2. PROBLEM: We are trying want to find out which apple has more seeds.

3. HYPOTHESIS: If we take three kinds of apples and count their seeds, then we think that the Granny Smith Apple will have more seeds because it is a green apple.

4. HYPOTHESIS: This is our graph of our Hypothesis.

5. VARIABLE: CONTROL: Gala Apple Red Delicious Apple Granny Smith Apple
We used three variety of apples, Gala, Granny Smith, and Red Delicious.
Everything else stayed the same: washing and cutting the apples, removing and counting the seeds, and gluing and comparing our results.

Apple
Red Delicious Apple

6. MATERIALS: 5 Gala Apples 5 Red Delicious Apples 5 Granny Smith Apples
3 Ten-Frame Templates
Graph Paper
3 Paper trays
3 small plastic containers
Paper towels
Glue
Spoons

7. PROCEDURE: 1.Wash each apple so it will be clean.
2. An adult uses a knife to cut each apple and remove its core.
3. Use a spoon and/or fingers to remove each seed.
4. Put the seed in the container so it will not get lost.

8. PROCEDURE: 5. Glue each seed into a ten frame.
6. Compare the results of each variety of apple.
Gala: 10 seeds
Red Delicious: 9 seeds
Granny Smith: 26 seeds

9. RESULTS/DATA:
The Granny Smith Apple had more seeds than the Gala or Red Delicious variety.
Gala: 10 seeds
Red Delicious: 9 seeds
