October 9th: Inner planets and build time!

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.
