On Thursday and Friday we learned even more about wood, paper, and fabric. We have continued switching each day with Mrs. Showalter's class.
In our classroom on Thursday students had a chance to make paper. Students mixed toilet paper with water to form paper pulp. After extracting excess water with a sponge students rolled out the pulp to make a piece of recycled paper.
While students rotated through our classroom making paper the rest of the group built paper boxes with 6th grade volunteers.
On Friday in our classroom students learned about changing materials. Students had a chance to try sanding a piece of wood and to draw on fabric with special fabric markers.
In Mrs. Showalter's classroom on Friday afternoon students stained and washed fabric. First they stained fabric with ketchup and mustard. Then they rinsed their fabric in just water before cleaning it soap. Students found out that ketchup washed out but mustard did not.
