Play Dough

We learned about the term "process" and how it is a series of steps in creating something.  In order to begin the play dough process, the children investigated the materials used to make play dough including water, salt, and flour.  We created rubrics in order to determine if play dough was high quality or low quality, and deigned our own usage test.  We named it the Snowman Test.  We knew it was high quality play dough if a snowman could be formed without becoming mushy.  After that, we even wrote our first science lab report!

Look at that snowman!
