Funded Apr 7, 2022Thank you so much for the awesome rock collection! The rocks are beautiful and unique. Both teachers and students alike were taken in by the different properties of each rock.
As a class, we began by having a discussion on what makes up a rock and why do rocks look different. Students shared their knowings on the topic and also shared wonderings. We were able to find insightful videos about rock formations and how rocks evolve over time. The best part was the hands on activity where students each received a magnifying glass and an assortment of rocks. The ooooss and ahhsss were contagious. While classifying the different rocks, students become engrossed with the different sparkles, textures, and finishes.
Overall an unforgettable experience. Hopefully
in the future we can upgrade this activity by visiting a cave or volcano.”
With gratitude,
