Description

Class Experience

  In this one time class, the kids will learn about geodes: what they are and how they are formed.  I use visual graphics in my class such as slideshows and short videos so the kids will be able to see geodes and other information.  The kids will be able to interact with each other and me during our class discussion by using chat or unmuting their microphones.  The kids  will be able to participate in a short show and tell where they may  show and tell about their geodes if they own any.  The...

This class is taught in English.

The kids will learn about geodes.

  I have taught grades 2-5 as a public school teacher, and I have taught on Outschool since October 2020.  I have been a 4-H leader, and I have led a club, The Young Naturalist Club , with homeschool kids when my sons were younger.  Currently, I teach elementary and high school classes to homeschool kids.

  2 files available upon enrollment  Supplies:

vanilla frosting
sugar cookies (2-3)
white rock candy
different colors of rock candy
If you can't find rock candy, any colorful hard candy will work or colored sanding sugar or colored sugar crystals

plastic knife for spreading the frosting
resealable bags 2-3  (Ziploc for example or a reusable resealable bag)
meat tenderizer, rolling pin, small hammer (something to help break apart the rock candy)

45 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

Vanilla frosting, rock candy, sugar cookies, knife, and heavy object such as a rolling pin, meat tenderizer or small hammer will be used in class.
If you don't want your child to decorate a cookie, Play Doh can be used to make a flat disc and sequins can be used to represent the crystals in a geode.  
An English muffin and cream cheese,  peanut butter  or other nut butter could be used with dried fruit to represent the crystals.
