How long should we mix them? *discuss variables* Model the first combination for students using sheet 3-3 Students continue mixing combinations and recording observations on sheet 3-3 Discuss questions about the mixtures on page 90 Student Reflection How could all of this information about the play dough materials help you to improve a play dough process? What might you do if the play dough is too sticky? What might you do if the play dough is too dry? What might you do if the pay dough is too grainy? Reflection questions could be answered in student notebooks or verbally Review and Assessment Student Rubric Parental Support Opportunities: Home School Connections Interview your parents: Ask them to tell you about their favorite family recipe or dish. Try to list or sketch the solids and liquids used for that dish.
