ON MAKING MAPLE SYRUP
|
Syrup comes from trees.
You need a drill to get the sap and you also need a bucket to let the sap drip into the bucket. You need a hydrometer to measure the sugar level in the sap and you need a boiler to boil the sap to turn it into syrup.
First, we had water that tasted like strawberries, and then we tasted real maple syrup.
I like eating real maple syrup, not the fake stuff.
I like making and eating ice cream and covering it with real maple
syrup!

INTERDISTRICT COOPERATIVE PROGRAM DIARY ENTRIES
(five-trip program)
Trip 3 Today, our class went to the Auer Farm for the third time. It was our first time meeting the other 6th graders from a school in Hartford. Some of us, like me, were a little bit nervous to meet them. We had all just been prejudice. That wasn't very fair to them though, because they were actually very kind people. Everyone got along great. I
had fun meeting them.
Trip 4 Today our class went to the farm again with the class from Hartford. We worked in groups of four. Did you know that 40 gallons of sap makes one little bottle of maple syrup? We really liked the owl pellet dissection.
