Chocolate

We couldn’t talk about Mexico without talking about CHOCOLATE! Today was all about science. We melted some chocolate and put it into molds. The kids learned where chocolate comes from and how it’s made. 

They saw that chocolate could turn into a liquid by heat it up. I asked what else could melt when it was heated and these amazing preschoolers came up with answers like “ice cream, popsicles and ice”.  
We discussed how other things could melt if you got them really hot like, rocks, metal and plastic, then placed in molds like our chocolate and shaped. We headed over to the toy bin and each student found something they thought had been melted and shaped, and guess what, they were right!!!

Science can be really fun if you can think like a child!
