Stand back everyone, Mount Silverwood is getting ready to blow her top!!!!Queen Helen and Miss Cindy thought of one last, fun way to wrap up our study of volcanoes and add a little Math into Science.
We placed an air pop corn popper in the center of a huge paper and made geographical landforms around Mount Silverwood.
The Students were in groups and made towns in their section of the volcanic landscape.Each group made a prediction about how much "ash or hummocks," popcorn would fall in their section.
Then each counted their "ash/ hummocks," popcorn, recorded their data, and ate the findings.
Next we did this process all over again on the same sheet, but this time Queen Helen of the Winds turned on a huge box fan.
We will return to volcanoes a bit latter in the year when we study the planets and moons of the planets!

Next we did this process all over again on the same sheet, but this time Queen Helen of the Winds turned on a huge box fan.The students predictions and explanations of what they thought would happen with the fan blowing were great!
They recorded their findings and shared with the groups that did not get as much to record.
We will return to volcanoes a bit latter in the year when we study the planets and moons of the planets!Great job everyone on your volcanoes for the volcano party!
If you have any pictures that you would like us to post from the party please email them to Miss Cindy or Miss Vanessa.
