A Spooky Scene!

9/13/2018

 
We're all sad that the start of the school year is here and that summer is over. But we're super excited that Halloween is the next big thing to think about. What better way to get in the spirit than thinking about transforming our classroom into a spooky scene?

We brainstormed A LOT of ways we can make our classroom spooky:
And from watching really small snippets of Hunger Games, Harry Potter, and Jurassic Park, we agreed that making our classroom foggy was the best idea (all the other ideas are possibly just more "crafty" and not as "science-related.")

We then moved into getting our ideas out there for how we could possibly recreate fog in our own classroom, thinking about where we've seen fog and at what times along with where we would expect to see it.  We've got some amazing ideas on the table!

    Driving Question

    How can we produce a bunch of fog for a spooky scene?
