Questions
Answer here. Use evidence from the text.
Why do you think the instructions say that you need an adult to help you?
It is because you need to use the oven and you need to use the stove element, and you might leave the stove element on and burn down the house.
Why do the pendants get coated in “clear” nail polish instead of “coloured” nail polish?
Pendants get coated in clear nail polish instead of coloured nail polish because when you use clear nail polish you can see what you have designed and that way you can still see your colour.

Reflect
Is a salt dough pendant as special as a ‘real’ greenstone pendant? Why/ why not.
Please explain what you think
Yes because some people might treat a salt dough pendant as special as a green stone pendant.
