Hopefully you are curled up in a nice warm cocoon at home on this (yet another, seriously??) snow day, and on that note, here are a few pictures from our "Chrysalis" project. We used sliding food trays, clay, and other materials to create cocoons that house miraculous metamorphoses: one creature goes in, and after a period, a totally transformed creature comes out! The only requirement was that students invent their own change (e.g. not a caterpillar and a butterfly). We saw sharks turning into donuts, elves turning into rabbits, ice cream cones turning into fish, and one transformation involving a "star-shaped virus with a five o'lock shadow" which I definitely did not see coming.
