Geology Study

We have completed our unit on Geology!
Here is a sneak peak of what we did to help us learn about the rocks and earth around us...
First, we shared the rocks we found in our neighborhoods.




 Next, we sorted them by different characteristics.




We looked very closely for minerals.


Then, we learned about the three types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic.
We observed examples of each.





Be sure to ask YOUR geologist about the layers of the Earth!
