Emma's Earth Core

Emmalee had a project she had to complete and turn in this week while the cousins were here. She had to make a model of the earth's core and layers. She decided to invest some of her own money and make it out of Starbursts. (yep... starbursts!)

First it was too sticky. Then she froze it and couldn't get it to mold into the shape she wanted.

Unfortunately her mom had NO idea where she was going with it... and could not wrap her mind around what she was trying to do and she could not articulate it really well.

Luckily! Uncle Brent and Daddy really got into it... giving her ideas... and guidance and the tears were held to a minimum. After 3 attempts, some expanding foam, and lots of un-wrapping... TA DA!

This is the core and layers. 

This is the other side (her best attempt at a blue ocean and green earth *wink*)

It was a complete success!! Everyone else in her class used paper and foam balls. Hers was unique and fun!

She was so pleased!!

So much so that she and Britty promptly went outside and did this:

They shattered it across my driveway...

only to find they then had to clean it up!

bwahahahaha!

GOOD JOB LOU!!

We are proud of your efforts and success!

You are awesome! :)
