YOUR VERY OWN FACTORY Now you are going to create your own unique factory. You can make it just a chocolate factory or you can have other candy too. Each student will invent and name their own candy that will be made by your factory. Be creative and have fun! 

*Putting it together* After completing your questions and deciding what kind of factory you are going to do, you are going to make a power point to explain your findings and to show the class what kind of factory you came up with. Each student must talk about what is in the candy they created and why they chose the name they did for their candy.

CONGRATULATIONS! You are now proud owners of your first candy factory! Great job creating new and exciting pieces of delicious candy! I hope you are proud of yourselves for doing such an excellent job and I wish your factories the best of luck!
