Our first unit in Science is Rocks and Minerals. Thanks to Mindcraft, lots of students may already have background knowledge about the hardest minerals and some of the names for rocks and minerals. This week students will be "rockhounds". They will have to opportunity to explore and look for rocks outside (at school). They can also try this at home too. Thanks to Eric for bringing in samples of minerals that he found mining this summer in Thunder Bay. The class loved them!
The class will also become scientists as they investigate and examine various rocks and minerals. They will need to have a magnifying glass to complete different experiments. If they could bring one from home (labelled with their name) that would be terrific.
