In this activity, students make serial sections of an apple. Students make cross-section prints of the top portion of the apple, then another print further into the apple, and so on until they get to the bottom of the apple. This serial sectioning technique provides almost a three-dimensional view of the inside of the apple and serves as a good aid in discerning the complete internal anatomy of the fruit. Students can use their newfound knowledge of fruit anatomy to label their completed serial prints.
