Concrete Company Field Trip

We were invited by some friends to visit a concrete factory this morning.  We learned that concrete is the glue that holds the sand, rocks and water together to form cement.  The kids were given a chance to mix up some cement. 

Adding the sand, rocks, cement and water.

The finished product with fence posts added.

The three amigos were given tee shirts as souvenirs.

   

Here a cement truck is being filled.

 This is the concrete truck unloading the “glue” (concrete). 

It was a short field trip but very fun.  The kids also learned how to get the truck drivers to honk……pumping your arm with a closed fist!
