nova mama Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 We are learning about the layers of the earth. Has anyone tried to make an edible model, out of cake for example? Thanks in advance for the ideas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenmomof3 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 We made a 4-layer earth out of ice cream. Here's the site: http://www.sd5.k12.mt.us/glaciereft/geoeatk8.htm The kids loved it! Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 We made ours out of a marachino cherry wrapped in rice Krispie treat stuff, spread with peanut butter and rolled in cookie crumbs. 4 layers. We cut it in half when it hardened a bit to see the layers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fivetails Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 We made ours out of a marachino cherry wrapped in rice Krispie treat stuff, spread with peanut butter and rolled in cookie crumbs. 4 layers. We cut it in half when it hardened a bit to see the layers. We did almost the exact same thing ~ actually, I think it *was* the same thing. :lol: ...I have pics somewhere, let me look.

hsmom27 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 We did one as a pizza. Crust was the crust. Cheese was the mantle. Then we used pepperoni for the outer core and a small tomato slice in the center as the inner core. Kids had fun and the project doubled as dinner!

fivetails Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 aha....here's a pic. Yes, they are lopsided. Very.:tongue_smilie: They were a lot of fun to make though. And yummy! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommy22alyns Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 R.E.A.L. Science does one as a pizza, with dough, sauce, tomato, and cheese (IIRC). I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova mama Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 What great ideas, which incorporate two of our favorite foods--pizza, ice cream, and rice krispie treats! I found instructions for the R.E.A.L science model online. I just need to decide if we'll do a sweet or savory model. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
