Our 3rd Graders Rock!

We are learning about the rock cycle in our 3rd grade science classrooms. I made a little activity that helps our kiddos review the three types of rocks using a graphic I put up on the projector. We are in the middle of creating this book for review.  I will post pictures next week when they get closer to completion.

I also used the following resources:

3rd Graders Rock!

We are in our rock unit right now and we are learning about the rock cycle. We started a little research project and are making a book to go along with the three types of rocks. Here is a great study tool to review what you have learned.
