Monuments
After studying about rocks and minerals, the 6th grade students in Ms. McGinnis'
science class created outstanding replica's of monuments made of stone from
around the world. Students were allowed to use any material they could find to
make the replicas, so some stood over 4 feet high, while others were made
entirely out of sugar cubes. Special effects were used to turn a Barbie into a
Greek Goddess, and make the Taj Mahal reflect in a pool of water. The students
also had to make a travel brochure highlighting their monument and its
surrounding areas. The students had to include, why the monument was built,
where it was built, the rock it was built with, and how that rock was chosen.
Overall the students did an AMAZING job.
