8th: We started in on the inner planets today after we reviewed the sun. Guided reading for section 3.3 in the text due tomorrow!
7th: Today we reviewed the rock cycle and then established our rules for the earthquake building and started our build. The rules are:
1. Must use 25 straws, 25 small marshmallows and 4 large marshmallows. If I have extra materials, I’ll hand it out throughout the week.
2. They must build a five “story” building with each story at least three inches high.
3. It doesn’t have to be a square, nor does it have to have solid walls or floors.
4. They can build it higher with more floors if they like.
