Second Grade
Incredible edible orbits
Second grade students in Ms. Giesel's science resource class used their imagination to create edible orbits. Learning about the solar system, students used sweet treats to create their own individual solar system models. The students used materials ranging from jawbreakers to skittles to butterscotch discs. Icing was used to hold the planets in place. The students were able to enjoy eating the leftover candy and icing after their projects were complete.
