March 5, Comets

Today in class we took a short quiz on the planets and some moon facts (phases of the moon, eclipses).

After the quiz we created a comet nucleus in class. To do this we mixed together dry ice, water, ammonia, a little cornstarch and some rocks and dirt. It was very interesting when the brew started to bubble and froth!

No homework today--hooray!
