Since when did science projects become the parents responsibility? When I was in school we were not allowed to get outside help on ours.  Last week my daughter brought home a set of papers telling parents they have to build a volcano and let the child help.  And the children have to write a paragraph all about volcanoes.  I haven’t done this since I was 14 (14 years ago), so I was little rusty on how to do it.  I went online and found a few different ideas, and just sort of mixed them up to make ours.  It’s not done yet, but once it is done I will take a picture of it to show you.  It’s kind of fun, makes me feel like a kid again lol  Smoke even helped out with crinkling up papers.   Darth Cestual was going to help and provide some mini’s to make it look like the end of The Lord of the Rings, but we did it on a day he wasn’t available.  I went with the paper mache siding, because it will be easier for an 8 year old to carry (I’m sure mom will end up carrying it into the class room anyway lol). Real rocks and dirt to make it look a little more realistic, I may even snip off some small bits of pine tree to go on it.

If you have any ideas you’d like to share, feel free to either post them on here or pm me.

Thanks,
Ice
