Of course, to make stalagmites just took one more step. We're making progress, but there is so much to do...and very little time to get it done.
The first formations (speleothems) people identify in cave lore are stalactites and stalagmites. This year, we decided to write descriptive sentences on the flattened paper before bending the paper into cones and crinkling them to provide rock-like texture. Students tried to use figurative language in their sentences. To form the final stalactites, students made the paper into cones, taped them closed, wadded them, then unwadded them. The next step is to attach these to the ceiling.
