How Many Licks Does It Take?

Last Wednesday in language arts class the students and I asked ourselves the very important question, "How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?" The questions came from a strategy we were using to write in our journals. Being the curious people we are, we decided to find out. So, last Friday the students got to work. They were asked to jot down predictions and observations in their journals. It's amazing how different the number of licks were from person to person. All in all, the kids had a great time and we were able to use what we found to make a great descriptive writing!
