I'm not sure how I missed it, but I somehow forgot to upload pictures from our Rocks and Minerals Science experiments. The third graders loved wrapping up our unit with lots of hands-on experiments and activities. First, the kiddos got to look at a variety of rocks and minerals and describe their streak, hardness, luster, and if they were transparent, opaque or translucent.
The kiddos also got to learn about the two different types of volcanoes. They learned that the two types of volcanoes have very different lava textures. Be sure to quiz your child about them at home tonight.
The third graders also learned about rock erosion. We learned that a mountain can not last forever and experimented by shaking sugar cubes to see how rock particles erode over time.
