66 THE APPLE 
Home Work 
Cut slices of apple, some thick and some thin, and 
leave them on a plate over night. What change has 
taken place in them by morning? 
Carefully scrape some pieces of apple paring so that 
all the white pulp is removed. Leave them on a plate 
for a few hours. How do they change? 
Drawing 
1. Make a drawing of a whole apple showing the stem 
end and stem, and the blossom end. 
2. Make a drawing of a vertical section showing curves 
at stem and blossom ends; stem; and points at 
blossom end; core plates and seeds. Be careful 
when you draw the core not to show the seeds in 
both right and left hand cases, because it is almost 
impossible to cut through two seed cases when the 
apple is cut exactly in the middle. Can you dis- 
cover why? 
3. Make a drawing of a cross section showing the five- 
pointed seed case and the green spots. 
4. Make a drawing of a seed.
