Bubble Gum day !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today was Bubble Gum day !!!! We tried different flavors of gum and timed how long there flavor lasted. Also we interviewed some people and made a chart on who chewed it and why. Our friends, Zoƫ and Aiden came over to do it with us. I learned gum is mostly made out of rubber. Flavors and powdered sugur are than added. We made our own gum. I made citrus flavored gum. When we added the powderd sugur it mad the gum less stickey. Another fact is that humans are the only animal that chews gum. If you give a monkey a piece of gum he will chew it a little than take it out and stick it to his hair. We had a lot of fun.

Cahokia mounds

Today we went to the Cahokia mounds. We went up the stairs on the biggest mound. It had 161 stairs. It was 100 feet tall. There used to be 20000 people living there. It was started 950 years after christ. The biggest temples always belonged to the kings or rulers. There language is unknown. They traded a lot. People know that because they had seashells and we don't have them around here. They had extra food so they traded extra corn for cloths and meat. Later they had to trade with other familys to survive. Nobody knows why they dissipeared. we had a fun time. But now we can't wait for bubble gum day tommorow.

Bubblegum Day

We are having a bubblegum day on Friday. We had to come up with a list of ideas for each subject. Here it is:

Math: write equations with the number of bubble gum pieces in the different packages. Write different problems about bubble gum.
Spelling: learn to spell the different flavors of gum (ie: grape, peppermint). See how many words you can come up with from the letters of "bubblegum" (and spell correctly)
History: learn about famous people who liked gum.
Geography: Find out where bubblegum is made. Find out when people discovered gum.
Science: see if gum sinks or floats. See if gum is attracted to a magnet (I said that I knew the answer already, but that we could test to make sure :)

I can't wait untill Friday. It will be an awesome day.
