Wow!! We Made Dirt Piles!


Wait a minute. We were supposed to have rocks! We mixed all the ingredients together, added the wet stuff, and set them on the windowsill to dry.
So, why did it come out the way we started?
Hmm. When you make cookies, unless you bake them, you have cookie dough. Perhaps, if we added heat, from friction, from pressure?
AHHHHH, we needed to knead the wet soil into mudpies!?!? We needed to squeeze out the excess water and pore spaces to permit the soil particles to bond and form rock.
So, guess what we will do tomorrow? We get to play with MUD!!!!!!!! By Monday, we will have rock.
Have a great night
