Projects and Presentations

 For Clarissa's presentation this month, she decided to compare and contrast the ingredients in play dough and cookie dough.  First, she made up a batch of play dough on the stove, then dyed it three colors.

 Then we looked for a sugar cookie recipe that had similar ingredients to our play dough recipe and she made the cookies in the same three colors with some cookie dough left over. 

 

Finally, she made a poster that compared the ingredients in the two doughs and showed everyone how similar they looked.  She gave everyone the opportunity to taste the two different doughs as all the ingredients in the play dough are edible, but nobody took the challenge.  On the other hand, everyone was happy to sample the yummy cookies.

  

For Krystal's project, she talked about how books were handmade before the printing press was invented and so she handmade an alphabet book.  These are her illustrations for G and H, giraffe and hot dog.

 

 Jared decided to do his project on prosthetics and made a prosthetic arm out of Legos.  Isn't that impressive?  It actually has all the parts and bends and grabs and everything!

 Then, he researched the different types of prosthetics and made a poster to display them.

Amber never wants to be left out of doing a presentation so unbeknownst to me, she drew a picture of several different forest animals and told us all about them.  Great job guys!
