An apple life cycle is easy to explain and view while looking at a mandala. Each of the rings of the mandala feature different stages of the apple life cycle. The mandala has the seed right next to the baby tree plant in the outer ring. A tree comes next as you move inward. The two stages that feature blooms come next. There is a branch with the bud. Next, there is the branch with the blossom. The fruit is featured in the center.
What is in the apple life cycle set?
There are two versions of each of the apple life cycle pages. One divides the mandala into four sections and the other does not.
There is a set of pages that displays just the picture that needs to be colored. The next set features a picture and the object’s name in words. Finally, there is a set that has just the words.
You can decide which page and what version of each page you want to use with your children. While the version with just words was designed for older children, early readers may be ready to use it. Some older children may like just having a picture in the Blockly block and others will see it below them.
What are Blockly Blocks?
There are coding blocks that can be used to build an algorithm. They represent an underlying text code.
What is an Algorithm?
An algorithm is a series of steps a computer needs to follow to complete a task. Children can learn about building algorithms by following a simple algorithm or series of steps.
Getting the Apple Life Cycle Mandala Set
First, you will need to download the set.
Second, if you don’t have Acrobat Reader you will need to download it. The algorithm page is an Acrobat Reader PDF file.
Third, you must go to your download file and open the page. You may be asked if you want the file to open right after you download it. You won’t have to hunt for it in your download file if you are.
Building Background
Before you explore the apple life cycle mandala, you may want to read or have your children read a book about apples. After hearing or reading the book, you will want to discuss what your children learned about apples.
