We've been reading about the layers of the atmosphere in "A Child's Geography
," and did one of the suggested activities last week -- making the layers in a jar with flour, sugar, and cornmeal.
When we were finished, the boys asked, "Now do we get to use the ingredients to make cookies?"
That wasn't in the book -- but how could I refuse? ;)
I didn't know exactly how much flour or sugar was in the two filled jars, but I added two sticks of butter, two eggs, a teaspoon each of vanilla and baking soda, a pinch of salt, and half a bag of chocolate chips, and that seemed to work just fine. The cornmeal gave the cookies a nice crispy bite.
We called them atmospheric cookies with meteor chips!

What fun! I love that your boys wanted to turn it all into cookies!
I just read below about your being diagnosed with adrenal fatigue. I'm interested to hear in what treatment route you are going. I know mushrooms are so good for your adrenal glands- what else have you come across?
Great ,great idea! We will be studying the earth's layers next year... I hope that I remember this then.
The cookies look delicious too!
YAY!! Tasty Science.... The best kind!
I just ordered "A Child's Geography" - I've heard so many great things about that book. I'll look for this activity - it's the kind of thing my six-year-old would love to do. Thanks!
Blessings,
