Project Pluto

One of the things I love about the Apologia science curriculum is that the projects are simple (not a lot of supplies to buy), but interesting and varied.  The Pluto project, I have to admit, is one of my favorites....homemade ice cream!  You know, because Pluto is so cold.  A bit of a stretch, I guess, but one I'm willing to accept.


We even added our own special touches, including a night sky backdrop made of hot fudge, and a Kuiper Belt made of sprinkles.  Mmmmmm....


Note: Yes, we are aware that Pluto has officially been categorized as a dwarf planet, which was covered in the curriculum, but we didn't think that should stop us from doing this project. =)
