It all started with the story, Michelle's MVP Award. In this story, Michelle plays on a hockey team who is trying to think of a fundraiser to go see a famous hockey player. Michelle's idea of making play-doh is chosen as the way to raise money.
After reading the story, students got to explore high quality play-doh
and low quality play-doh.
Then the students got to mix ingredients and make observations about what happened.
Using those observations, they put steps in order for how they would make play-doh.
After testing and making improvements two times, students were finally on their way to making high quality play-doh.
Hopefully, your child brought his/her play-doh home and could talk a little bit about the process.
