This week we will begin our science unit on Rocks and Soil, and we will start our next SEM unit on dinosaurs and fossils.
To get you started on our "rocking" adventure, I'd like you to think about different rocks you have found (and maybe even kept). How would you describe them, sort them, or classify them? Try to use words that describe the texture, density, hardness, and coloring of the rock. Try to avoid words like "big", "heavy", or "cool".
In your reply to this post, please list 15-20 words that could be used to describe, sort, or classify different kinds of rocks. We'll be using your lists to help us as we begin our rock collections so think about your choices carefully.
Please remember your initials at the end of your reply. Please post your reply by Friday, Nov. 7th so you can get full credit.
Thank you
