Science
Connect your ideas about weathering
Talk about:
How does this connect to the weathering you found in your neighborhood?
How does this connect with the weathering you observed in your tray investigation?
What do you wonder about this? Do you have any further questions?
Remember to record your observations for your Moon Journal!
You just need a partner for this one. You will work on cooperation, gentle hands, and balance. You will need one leader and one sculpture - the leader moves the sculpture body part by body part until they've created the perfect shape. Then say 'viola' and switch leaders.
