Mr. Maykut's Class: Sand, Silt and Clay

Students have been completing many investigations involving sand, silt and clay.  What is the best way to sort rocks? What happens when you mix different kinds of rocks with water? How long does it take clay to dry?

Adding just the right amount of water was important.

Let's make a pot.

Getting the right consistency was tricky.

More water please.

Too much water?

50% of the class was able to make a clay pot from scratch! Nick nailed it!
