Rocks!

In Science we have been learning about Natural Resources. We focused on rocks last week. However, we were not able to go outside to collect rocks, so students brought some from home to share and observe. I have been teaching for more than 12 years, so I have a small collection of rocks that we were able to observe also. 

We talked about what are rocks, where do they come from, how can we used them, and analyzed their properties in order to describe them. We also did an investigation where students saw how pumice stones broke in little pieces by putting them in a bottle with water and shaking them. We wrote about what we observed and learned during the lesson.

We learned a lot about rocks, and we had so much fun!
