Making Volcanoes

Making Volcanoes


Working with a partner to figure out problems and solutions



In math, we reviewed fractions using apples. Then, tried a yellow, green, and red apple, chose our favorites, and graphed the results. 

In science, we spent the week learning about how the earth changes quickly via natural disasters. On Tuesday, we erupted our volcanoes!
