High School Science and Symbolism of Apples Reading Passage and Q & A

As a homeschool mom with a 9th grade daughter, I have learned that the best lessons come from resources that challenge students/homeschoolers both academically and personally.  The Science and Symbolism of Apples Reading Passage, Q & A, and Note-Taking Sheets does exactly that.  This unique resource explores the apple not just as a fruit, but as a symbol woven throughout history, literature, science, and culture.  With rich reading material, 20 higher-level thinking questions with a guided answer key, and structured note-taking sheets, this set is designed to spark deep discussions and strengthen critical thinking.  It is the kind of resource that invites your teen to look beyond the obvious and see how one simple fruit connects to science, history, mythology, and even technology.

INCLUDED IN THIS RESOURCE:

• A detailed, multi-paragraph reading passage on the science and symbolism of apples

• 20 thought-provoking, higher-order questions

• A guided answer key with in-depth explanations

• 5 structured note-taking sheets for active reading

TOPICS COVERED:

• The biology and genetics of apples

• The apple in mythology, literature, and religion

• The role of apples in ecology, trade, and global connections

The Science and Symbolism of Apples Reading Passage, Q & A, and Note-Taking Sheets is more than just a one-time lesson.  It is a springboard for critical conversations about science, history, and culture.  If you are looking for something that goes beyond worksheets and helps your teen think in layered, meaningful ways, this resource will be a wonderful addition to your homeschool.

If you and your students/homeschoolers enjoyed this resource, please leave a review.
