Show the students how to turn their verbal sentences into writing. Describe the mixture now. Use complete sentences and include details. On the third day conduct tests and trials to see how much hardening has occurred. Each student may only have one rock from their cup.
Students fill in the answers and squares on the worksheet.
The students cut out their colored columns at the bottom of the blackline master and paste them to a chart for an instant graph. On the fourth day we depart from the project for a day to allow the rocks to noticeably harden. Have the students make pictures of the beach by mixing glue generously with the sand. Use the construction paper to decorate the sun, trees, treasure chest, families and clouds. On the fifth day we repeat the trials from the third day.
