Ms. Weeney’s junior infant boys learned all about solids and liquids today. Then they investigated what happens when chocolate is heated. They also accidentally discovered what happens when chocolate gets too hot. Nothing goes to waste in St. Pius X so the boys used their melted chocolate to make chocolate covered marshmallows. Yum!
