Salt from Salt Water

Most of our science for this fall is geology based.  This sort of fits that, but is actually a part of the Five in a Row that Gabby and I were doing.  We created salt water and allowed the water to evaporate off, so we had a glaze of salt.

This is a fun way to learn about where we get the salt for our food.  We also talked about how the food has to be cleaned because a bug got into our salt water.
