Ms. Simmons and Ms. Dillon's third graders
have been studying volcanos. To reinforce learning, students
created their own miniature volcanos and took them outside to set them
off. They decorated their volcanos with prehistoric scenery and
used vinegar and baking soda along with their choice of food coloring
to create some dramatic lava flows. The classes' cross-curricular
project helped them learn about prehistoric geography and climate,
geology, and a little chemistry and art as well. See more pictures. |
