We did an activity to simulate the Santa Monica Bay and how pollutants have affected both the water and the animals that live in the water. Totally cool, but totally gross!

Glacial Fun
In Science, we are discussing glaciers and the erosion that occurs by "glacial plucking". Ultimately, this is what happens when glaciers freeze around rocks, boulders, or other sediments as they slowly move along.
How do you represent this visually?
Ivory Soap=Glacier
Ivory Soap with Hot-Glued "Boulders"=Glacial Plucking
As the glacier "slides along the hillside" (down our playdough mountain), the boulders that have been frozen in leaves behind "scars" or "striations" in the rock (the playdough).
The kids liked it. :) And I got to play with my favorite toy--the glue gun.
