Last Friday we started our hands-on unit on Earth Materials. Each child got this notebook that we will be using throughout the unit.
Each child was given a Mock Rock to observe. We looked at its physical properties, we measured it, and then we took it apart!
Here is a picture of our mock rocks.
This is what it looked like once we broke it apart. The boys and girls had to decide what part of the rock was minerals.
Then, we put the powder material in a cylinder with water to see what happened. Bradley is shaking his up hard!
Then, they observed the cylinder and wrote down their observations. Today we will observe the cylinders again after it has sat all weekend.
