Mud Pies!


In science we have been learning about Earth Materials. To finish up our soils part of our unit we had a contest to see which team could make the best mud pie. The teams were able to create their own recipe of soils and water based on what we have learned. The teams were able to choose from sand, loam, or clay and how much to use. It was a fun activity to do outside on such a nice day! After letting the mud pies dry, the class voted on which mud pie they thought was the best. The winners of Ms. Gath's 2nd grade class were  Armando, Jaden, and Kayla. Their mud pie stuck together the best because they used mostly clay and the perfect amount of water. Great job you guys! Way to remember that clay is the stickiest soil!
