Mercer wanted to get creative and do some art centered projects.

We made playdough together.

This project required Mercer to find a recipe and read that recipe.
He worked on writing and recognition of fractions as he wrote down the recipe. We discussed limiting ingredient as a precursor to the concept of limiting reactant.

Mercer and I discussed some of the chemical properties of water and soap as we cleaned during our project.

Mercer did an amazing job. He was enthusiastic, engaged, curious, and respectful.
