Take
A Bite
Out Of This
Children, take note: If your
parents are driving you crazy,
perhaps it's time you shape
them up by taking them to
meet up with some creatures
hanging out at the Oakland
Mall. Some very big creatures.
From May 9 through July 7,
life-sized, roaring dinosaurs will
be making their home at the
Oakland Mall. Eight of the pre-
historic creatures which actual-
ly move (thanks to the latest
robotics technology) will be on
exhibit at the mall. You and
your parents can check out a
mom and child Chasmosaurus,
a Stegosaurs, a Tyrannosaurs
Rex (he's especially good to
show parents who misbehave),
two Protoceratops and a nest
of hatching eggs.
The Oakland Mall is at 1-75
and 14 Mile Road in Troy. The
exhibit is open during mall
hours.
All you need are baking
soda, two glasses, water
and vinegar and
the apple seeds, of
course.
First, put one tea-
spoonful of bak-
ing soda into a dry glass.
Second, fill an-
other glass halfway
with water, then add
three teaspoonfuls of
vinegar, then several apple
seeds.
Finally, pour the
vinegar mixture into
the glass with the baking soda.
As the carbon dioxide forms,
you'll see some fizzing. Then
the fun begins as the apple
seeds jump up and down in
the water, dancing their little
hearts out.
So, why does this happen?
The carbon dioxide bubbles at-
tach themselves to the seeds.
As the bubbles go up and
down, so- do the seeds.

What's
Cooking
Ina recent issue The Apple-
Tree focused on Rosh
Chodesh, the new month,
and gave a recipe for moon-
shaped cookies. We were
glad to hear that the Wanetick
family of Southfield has made
baking these cookies a tradi-
tion!
"We had a ball making your
Rosh Chodesh cookies," they
tell us. "In fact, we are mak-
ing them each Rosh
Chodesh!"
Have you had fun doing
something mentioned in The
AppleTree? If so, please write
us a letter or send us a picture.

With just a few supplies, you

volta donned that fabulous

Hanna Berlin, Natalie Wanetick, Francine Wanetick and Sala Wanetick get cooking.
Picture
Perfect
No doubt Rembrandt himself
would have loved to take up
brush to capture these
adorable faces...
Mrs. Reiter's kindergarten
class at Hillel Day School
recently took up the study of
group pictures. In the days
before the camera, they
learned, the only way to cap-
ture an image was through
the skilled hands of an artist.
The class looked at
various paintings of
groups, and even colored
in their own version
of Rembrandt's The
Syndics [businessmen]
of the Draper Guild
At the end of the pro-
ject, the children posed
for a group picture of their
own taken by Illana
Greenberg.
