Rocks and Minerals are Delicious!


Our class has begun an exploration of soil, rocks and minerals.  We spent some time learning about the differences between rocks and minerals and enjoyed a delicious rock cookie.  The students used different tools to extract the "minerals" from their "rocks".  After they disposed of their rocks and minerals (yum!), we investigated some real rocks and minerals from various regions in Canada.  The students compared and created scientific diagrams for their cookie and real rock examples.  All in all, a delicious excavation!
