Rocks are the focus in Science now! We brought in our own pet rocks and completed a number of activities. The students were asked to measure, find the mass and do a scratch test. They were also asked if their rock would sink or float in water.
Mrs. Lundquist had a rock that would float...Pumice!
The students had a great time discovering their pet rocks.
We will be focusing on how rocks are formed after the new year. We also will be studying weathering and erosion (there is a distinct difference between the two).
I was amazed at how interested the students were in rocks!
