As our year winds down and we finish our reading stories and our math lessons, it opens up time for some much needed science lessons!! We have been working on our unit about Earth, specifically learning about landforms and bodies of water.
We created our own worlds with as many landforms and bodies of water that we could make.
If you look closely, you'll see continents, glaciers, oceans, islands, deserts, gulfs, peninsulas, bays and more.
But we just couldn't make all the landforms with construction paper.
So, we decided to make salt dough!!
Who knew science could be so fun!?
It took a long week for our salt dough to dry, but then we got out the paints and got to work creating our landforms!
We painted mountains...
...we painted hills...
...we painted plateaus...
...but maybe most fun of all, we painted VOLCANOES!!
Not only did we have a blast, we really learned a lot. Making a plateau really solidifies our learning about what is the same between a mountain and a plateau and what makes them different.
The kids had great conversations about what colors mountains would be, or hills, or volcanoes.
When the paint dried, we place our landforms on our Earth models and took time adding in the bodies of water we hadn't already created. We drew rivers, lakes and ponds. We labeled our landforms and bodies of water. We toured the classroom to look at everyone's model and we celebrated our learning of these science concepts!
