Studying Rocks and Minerals? Just need a good research project? This project has all the steps laid out, as well as a grading rubric for each part. Students choose a rock or mineral, do research and complete a written and creative research project on this rock. Tested with real students in the classroom of Heidi Raki.
I just changed a few things and had my fourth graders do both the report and the creative project if they choose. They loved it and so did I! Thanks

I currently teach first grade at an American School in Casablanca, Morocco. Previously, I taught all grade levels in the computer lab at a Title I school in Georgia. I have also taught 3rd grade for 4 years. I student-taught in 3rd grade and Kindergartden. I have taught both high income and low-income school students, and find that no matter where I teach, most kids need to look at every problem from 12 different angles. Although it is challenging, it is also incredibly rewarding.
