A Rock Unit that ROCKS!
We are getting ready to start our Rock Unit and let me tell you, this is one unit that truly does ROCK!
You can find the pack {here} if you’d like to see more!
We’ll make Rockin’ Books!
And have a take home project to collect a rock…analyze it and describe it.
And of course I have to have a rock unit craft, right?
In class projects to add hands-on learning to our rock exploration:
Crystal experiment:
Research, research, and more research! My kids used and informational text provided to answer questions. Not boring questions, but fun ones! They even drew pictures and illustrated their chosen rock type. We did experiments using food to learn about the types of rocks. My son still remembers this unit form when he was in my first grade classroom over 10 years ago! My students had the BREST time during this rock unit. I even had fun!
Books for our study:
Kids used magnifying glasses to explore different types of rocks. This is the rock collection I got for our rock explorations:

I would love to rock this unit in my classroom. The kiddos would too! We have started our unit but we have several weeks to go and your fun resources will add to our learning fun. I have a love connection with rocks and I bring my own rock collection to school to share:)
Thanks for sharing your ideas!

This unit looks great. I am heading over to check it out. My daughter and I are going to an open air mine for a field trip with our homeschool group and I would love to boost her background knowledge for the trip.

There are resources that would be GREAT with my ELL students! The visuals (sandwich, melting chips and playdoh) will really aid in further understanding of the concepts. Thanks for creating this!
