When you are comparing 2 or more things, you will use comparative or superlative adjectives. For this blog post, I would like you to work in your groups to create sentences that compare the rocks we've been studying in Science. Use your science book and other resources to help you.
Here is an example:
Granite is harder than pumice. A diamond is one of the hardest gems.
Your group needs to have at least 5 sentences that use comparative adjectives, and at least 5 sentences that use superlative adjectives.
Be sure to include your initials at the end of your post.
