Comparing Candy

  We worked a bit of math and science into our Halloween Festivities

First we discussed what our senses are, and why we use our senses to observe things.

We also talked about how you should NEVER taste something to observe it unless your parent or teacher tells you that it is safe. 

Then, as a group we sorted ways that 2 different candies could be the same and different. There are Rockets on the left (in the USA they call these "Smarties"), and some "Bones and Skulls" on the right (they are like Runts)

Then we described and compared our own candy. Every student remembered to bring in their 2 candies. Pats on the back all around. 

I'm so happy that Halloween only comes once a year :)
