Earth Science Rocks? Yes, It Does!



In the past 4 years I have gained such an appreciation for Earth Science, and I am begining to truely enjoy it as much as the Life Sciences. This year in Earth Science we are starting off with trying to understand rocks and minerals. What are they, how are they the building blocks of Earth, how do they shape the Earth, how to we classify them, and how are they used in our lives? These are some of the many questions that we are trying to answer as we go on our mission with the Jason Project Argonots (see www.jason.org for more information).

As we talked about the physical and chemical properties that help classify minerals, I remembered to take a few pictures of the class. We will definitely take more pictures, and have more posts as the year moves on.

Looks like you're making Earth Science enjoyable for your students...and for you! We need more interactive and creative teachers like this!
