Nutrition continued....Vitamins!

As we explored more ideas about nutrients, we uncovered the importance of vitamins.  We talked about Vitamins A, B, C and D and how they are critical for our bodies to function.  They also help other nutrients to function.  So, we decided to eat some vitamin C.  We made applesauce - the students helped peel and core the apples (with the help of a handy tool).  They also each had their own cinnamon stick to smell and feel.  Cinnamon comes from the bark of a tree, and of course makes the applesauce even more delicious!
