We learned what a geologist does and excavated and sorted rocks. We also talked about properties of rocks.
We learned about the three different types of rocks, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic and made them from crayon shavings. We were also able to make a connection between metamorphic rock and a frog going through metamorphosis.
Our volcanos were a huge hit! We followed the scientific method, learned about chemical reactions, did some how to writing, AND hade a good time!
We also read the Lorax last week, which tied in to our Geology theme, and worked on story mapping. In math we played a fun game with partners to help us practice half hour time.
More geology to come this week!!
