Rock Solid

We have begun a unit of earth science titled "Pebbles, Sand and Silt." We begin by looking at rocks, their properties, and how they can be sorted. The children examined them with a hand lens, rubbed them together and collected rock dust. With our fifth grade buddies we went out and collected rocks from the school grounds and will now categorize and sort them.
