Class experience
In this course students will learn all about rocks and minerals! Students will be engaged in a multitude of learning facets including group discussion, individual think time and sharing, sketching, writing, and creation of ideas, visual content, experiments and viewing scientific video clips. Here is the breakdown by week: Week 1: What are rocks and minerals and Geologists and Mineralogists -Students will learn what rocks and minerals are and how to describe and classify them...
Students will learn scientifically what rocks and minerals are, how to identify them, how they are formed, where they come from, and how they are used.
I have taught this Rock and Mineral Unit for many years in classrooms and have been intrigued by my students' excitement to learn the true facts about it. Over the years, I have continued to update and change these lessons to make them more student driven, hands on and exciting for students. I have found that after learning a scientific topic, students love engaging in a hands on approach in order to demonstrate their learning.
There will be various hand outs that will need to be printed prior to specific lessons. Students will need pencils, coloring materials, paper There may be additional materials needed if students partake in the hands on engineering activities that will be used to extend the learning outside of the classroom for homework. These materials will include glue, tape, construction paper, cardboard etc.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
