To kick-start our astronomy topic in 5th grade we made Star Jars!
Mixing water with a jam thickening agent we made "gloop"!
We cut up lots of bits of tin foil.
Martha poured gloop into the glass jars.
Irena added the food colouring - we had some left over from Halloween.
Then she added some "stars" - the tin foil.
It looked like this before we shook it.
Bibiane was one of the first to make her Star Jar.
Gertie and Nipinnguaq helped each other.
We made quite a few.
And then we made some more!
We found the activity on the net and just went for it. Now we have our own solar system in a jar!
