The scientific skill of defining operationally is the process by which a scientific term is framed in terms of a student's own experiences. An operational definition is also used to define what you will do and what you will observe when conducting and investigation. In this lesson, students practice defining a rock based on all they know about rocks. Then they compare their definition with ones from science books and dictionaries and write a new definition. Afterwards, there is a writing activity using the word rock in many sayings. This is a rich language development lesson tied to science. Teacher instructions, scoring rubric, recording page, and a writing page are included in this lesson packet.
