Unit 1 - Rocks and Minerals
We are currently studying Rocks and Minerals. Students have completed the following activities in their Science Interactive Notebooks. They should be bringing these home nightly to study as well!
Focus Standards:
S3E1 Students will investigate the physical attributes of rocks and soils.
a. Explain the difference between a rock and a mineral
b. Recognize the physical attributes of rocks ad minerals using observation (shape, color, texture) measurement, and simple tests (hardness)
c. Use observation to compare the similarities and differences of texture, particle size, and color in topsoil (such as clay, loam potting soil, and sand).
d. Determine how water and wind can change rocks and soil over time using observation and research.
