Amazing Apples – A Cross Curriculum Program

An eight week integrated program for upper primary with a focus on apples in Australia. It is a flexible learning program that engages students through all elements of apple production from breeding to marketing within the context of english and maths. There are three projects which run concurrently with the program and the author has designed the program so that extra elements such as excursions/incursions, health programs can springboard from Amazing Apples.
