Between the Tests!

Between some of the tests, the students have been working on independant tasks I have prepared or tasks they have selected (and I've approved).

Rashad said he would like to make a volcano, so we did! We built the volcano yesterday. While it was drying, he and Sophia did an experiment to see what combination of bicarbonate soda, vinegar and other ingredients would create a real looking eruption.

Today Rashad painted it and some other students helped to label it and get it all ready. Then, this afternoon... There was a volcanic eruption in our rooooooooooom!


 Sophia and Rashad doing an experiment to see which mixture looks more realistic.
The orange mix also has a little bit of soap in it so it foams up really well
Rashad, Sophia, Tara (5M) and Yoonsun (5M) helped to finish it off.

Getting the volcano ready for the eruption.



It erupted!Ahhhhhhhhh!!

Here's the video of it erupting...

I wanted to do that experiment in my house, but I didn't know where to buy the soda...
