Description
In this activity, students use the scientific practice of observing to discover properties of earth materials- specifically rocks. They observe a dry rock, then wet the same rocks and compare the differences. The lesson includes a What do you know? writing page, a student recording sheet, teacher instructions and a science notes page. Use this as an opening activity to your rock unit or a stand alone after school science club activity.
This lesson is included in the book Rising to the Challenge of the National Science Education Standards also sold on this website. The lesson will also be available in a packet of nine process skill lessons on rocks.

Loved these!
Met expectations
Great value
Helpful to add to our rock unit! Easy to use and time saver!
Students had a great time with this lab in stations.
My students really enjoyed this activity. They were engaged while observing their rocks. It was a great intro activity to my rock cycle unit. Thanks!
I really liked the art, but I thought there would be more included for sketching, observing and classifying rocks.
Thank you for the art compliment. What you are looking for is the bundled lessons:
9 activities are there using the scientific practices. I see that I do not have a preview. I will add one asap.
