Dough Recipe

Dough Recipe Homework: Due Thursday, September 26^th!!!

 

Dear Parents,

 

For social studies, the students are designing 3-D elevation maps. The 4th graders are working in cooperative groups to create islands made from dough which will include various landforms. The groups will paint their landforms to show different elevations. They will name their islands, label the island’s location with latitude and longitude, paint elevation levels, and decide the names and locations of their capital cities. This activity is a good review of all the landform skills the students are learning in 4th grade.

 

Each student will be making dough to use for this project and to share with their teammates.

 

Dough Recipe

                                                                                               

Ingredients:

 

 

1 cup of flour (At least!!! The dough should not be runny or stick to fingers, but thick enough to mold.  I would start with a cup, and add more as neededJ)

 

½ cup of salt

 

½ cup of water

 

***Helpful hints:  Use clean hands to mix the dough, and if the dough is too dry add a little water. If the dough is too runny, add a little more flour.

*** Extra ‘dough-nations’ would be appreciated and can be sent in a Ziploc Bag. 

Thank you!
