Next the students were given a bag of "mystery rocks and minerals." They were asked to separate them into two categories - rock or mineral. All the groups did well with this and were able to explain to me, using their science vocabulary that they learned the night before, the difference between a rock and a mineral. WELL DONE!!
For the next week or so we will be learning more about rocks and minerals.
Do you have any rocks or minerals at home that you would like to share? Feel free to bring them in.

In the science lesson I liked sorting out the different rocks and minerals.And I also liked seeing the streaks of some rocks such as talc, diamonds, and corumdum.
ReplyDeleteDear Class,
ReplyDeleteWhen I first started doing this, I didn't really understand.But now that I've read this article,I think I understand a bit better.
