Starting Our Geology Unit


We started our geology unit last week.  We read the book Everybody Needs a Rock and then wrote our own rules for finding the best rock.
Then we read If You Find a Rock.  Each student wrote a description of their rock without letting anyone see their rock.  We talked about different properties we can use to describe rocks, such as, texture, color, size, and patterns.  Here are some pictures of the students listening to descriptions of rocks and then trying to choose which rock they was being described.
