3's--> Dino Molds

     We've been working on our Dinosaur Unit.  Today, we got to be a dinosaur scientist, a paleontologist!  We talked about how dinosaurs are no longer alive, but we can learn from their bones.  The bones are taken to museums and studied.  We also know that the bones are fragile and are sometimes missing.  So the scientists will make molds to help them.  Today, we got to make our very own dinosaur molds!

     First we placed our dinosaurs in the playdoh.  This was just like how the dinosaurs would die and then get buried by the dirt.  They would sometimes leave impressions in the dirt (aka playdoh)!  We used our math skills and counted how many scoops of plaster and water we need to mix up.  Then we got to mix the plaster.  The best part was pouring the plaster over our playdoh impressions.


   

Happy Birthday Yesenia!
