Making a comic strip about the sea.

Today, we made a comic about the sea turning into oil and stone. It started in the Paleozoic Era, when the sea was filled with microscopic animals. 320 million years later, dinosaurs roamed the land. And when animals die, they get buried under the ground and as more and more animals died, they piled on top of each other. Now there is oil and rocks.

Experiment

Today we did an experiment on how to get oil of the top of the water. We tried a lot of different methods to remove the oil from the water. It was very hard to clean up and when we got it on the floor it became very slippery.

Marketplace

Today, we read some information on problems in Indonesia, made posters, and then shared with other people like a marketplace. It was very interesting to learn about these different things. We were put into random groups and we worked together to make cool posters.
