I may be a bit crazy to hand out knives to a room full of 5th graders, but nobody was injured today as we discovered angiosperms. Angiosperms are the other type of seed plant (remember, gymnosperms?) They are plants that have flowers and store their seeds in a fruit. Today each student got a different kind of fruit and had the opportunity to explore it in detail. Then they cut it into pieces so we could each taste it. We sampled the following fruits: grapefruit, pineapple, kiwi, quince, mango, orange, tomato, papaya, cantaloupe, cucumber, pepper, apricot, starfruit, pomegranate, ugli fruit, and peas.
