Beth's Adventures in Mbarara Uganda

*We took a planet walk (WAY BACK IN SEPT.), where we mapped out the solar system. We drove stakes into the ground and measured proportionally how far away all the planets are from each other.
*We tried to figure out if "Ooblech" is solid or liquid.
*We kept track of the medals won during the Olympics and made a huge pictograph to show each country's medals.
*We tried our hand our explaining how to make an "apple carousel." So, ours may not have turned out the way they were supposed to, but we had fun trying to follow each other's directions anyhow!
*We went on a field trip to the Coca Cola Bottling company to learn about their recycling and environmental efforts to preserve our world. Unfortunately, they wouldn't let us take cameras inside there, but we took a couple of pictures outside with our tour guide, Nicholas.
*We're doing "book projects" every month and we got to present our first ones to the class.
