Scientists play the Mystery Fruit Game

Ellen came to visit today and taught us a game.  Ellen began the Mystery Fruit Game by showing us a paper bag.  Then she told us a few things about what was inside: "It is a fruit.  It grows on a tree."  The kids didn't have any guesses yet.  Then she shared: "It is orange, it's round like a ball and it's juicy."  The guess came: "An Orange!!!!"  Ellen taught us how scientists learn about a new food: touch it, smell it, lick it, and eat it if you'd like.  The kids were brave about trying the fruit she shared with us: a Cara Cara orange, a pear,  a red pear, a lime, and lastly - a tomato!  You can see on the kids' faces what they thought of the sour flavor of the lime!
