Adding to: The Earth as an Apple

The Earth as an Apple is a hands on activity which allows students to visualize how much of the Earth's surface is water and how much is land available for agriculture. This can be used as an introductory activity on population growth and resources, mathematics principles, genetically modified crops, the effects of climate change or case studies on the loss of viable land for agriculture use.

Resources: Apples, plastic knifes, paper towel.

*Have students wash the apples/their hands and they can eat the apples after the activity as a healthy snack.
