In Science Class . . . Week of 2/1

Sorry for the delay in getting posts up, everyone! It's been a busy couple weeks with field trips and such.

We have been working on mineral identification for the past couple weeks, investigating mineral's streak, luster, magnetism, and hardness and putting all this information into a table to help us with identification. This week, prior to our Camp Arroyo trip, we will be learning about the three types of rock - igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, and how they can change with various geological conditions. Key questions to ask your students: What are the three types of rock? How are they formed? How can they change over time?

When we return, we'll be starting to work on landforms.
