Description

A great way to introduce students to a rock study is to sort rocks.

  • An overview video introduces you to the components in the product
  • Learn about the physical properties of rocks using a team sort activity
  • You'll find worksheets in English and Spanish, a student text with two reading levels in English and one translated into Spanish, and recordings of the texts for students who benefit from hearing the text
  • Short student essays about the properties of rocks, one is translated into Spanish
  • All versions for the texts are recorded for students who benefit from listening to the text
  • A PowerPoint presentation shows students several rocks sorts. Use it to introduce the topic, expand student thinking or assess student learning
  • Worksheets for a creative writing essay or an informational essay. Both are saved in Word™ documents so you can reformat for your students and/or upload them to your online classroom
  • Check out the web site with more resources you might consider adding to your unit on rocks and minerals

It's difficult to say the duration of this lesson, it just depends on how much time you have for sorting rocks!
