Rocks and Minerals
Today, we will articulate the concept that a mineral is a naturally occurring solid with a distinctive crystal shape.
Today, we will illustrate that rocks are composed of individual mineral pieces fused together, through practical demonstrations.
Today, we will enhance our collaborative in hands on and communication skills by working effectively with peers to explain the processes involved in the formation, breakdown, and movement of rocks within the rock cycle
By the end of today's lesson, students will proficiently identify various types of rocks through hands-on exploration and excavation in soil.
