Then they combined 15 cans of play-doh together to form one large ball. They then had to figure out how to create 50 equal sized balls using all of the play-doh. Then they took 49 of the balls and smushed them together to make Earth, and the other one ball was the moon! They loved it!

I had them create signs on toothpicks to be able to label their planets as they went along. Then we smushed it all together again and made the Earth, moon and Mars.

We added more play-doh to the ball, and using the same idea of creating many smaller balls and combining them, we made all of the planets (including the dwarf planet of Pluto). They LOVED doing this project. It took 3 class periods (over 3 and half hours) to complete everything.

They used math and logic to get through it all. It also involved leadership skills and teamwork. They learned about the relative size of the planets throughout the lesson and many said that they "get it!" now and that they'll always remember it!

Also, the 7/8 class went to Valley Christian Ministries to set up a "toy store" for families in need. The organization was flooded with toy donations and our students organized the toys and arranged them so that families in need could shop for free for holiday gifts and decorations.

The results were quite revealing! After 2 seconds, 99% of the paint (germs) remained, after 7 seconds about 50% remained, and after 10 seconds 40-50% still remained.

This led to an interesting discussion about the importance of proper hand-washing techniques. How much time do you normally take to wash your hands? Hmmm....

Students worked alone or with a partner to sort (classify) their cards in many ways... even and odd numbers, multiplies of 5s, etc. Eventually students sorted according to the number of arrays each number had, ending up with 3 groups: those numbers with 2 arrays, those numbers with more than 2 arrays, and the third group was for any number that didn't fit either criteria. Can anyone guess what number(s) that might be? Go to the blog and reply to this entry. Let's see who posts the answer first... a student or a parent!

The Water group spent the afternoon paddling canoes on Lake Eden in preparation for their upcoming whitewater rafting trip!
