  There are a ton of resources for extension activities with this unit on this site. This is a hands-on approach to rock and mineral exploration.

Students explore the differences and similarities between rocks and minerals by investigating samples of these earth materials, performing a series of tests similar to geologists' field tests, and reading about rocks and minerals and how they are used.

  ELL - English Language Learners could work with a partner to research the site, but the sifting and categorizing process is hands on, and doesn't require strong language skills. By using pictorial examples for instructions, ELL students can be successful in this effort.

This site doesn't provide specific activities; however, I would design earth science activities to assist kids in researching this park, and the surround area. We would discuss how and why the area has these deposits, the history of the area, and how to go about finding diamonds and other cool rocks. Extension activity: Order bags of dirt from Crater of Diamonds park and have the kids sift through to find and identify various rocks and minerals. Standards: 3.2.1: Examine the physical properties of rock samples and sort them into categories based on size using simple tools such as sieves. 3.2.2: Observe the detailed characteristics of rocks and minerals. Identify rocks as being composed of different combinations of minerals. 3.2.3: Classify and identify minerals by their physical properties of hardness, color, luster, and streak.

  The number of different properties that the teacher requires the students to observe can greatly affect the difficulty of this assignment. That offers a great opportunity for differentiation. This would probably be best as a long activity during a detailed unit.

This page has everything a teacher needs to know to make a class rock and mineral collection or assign the task to students.

  Adaptions: You can adapt this activity by showing the students what each of the gumdoprs represents then creating a venn diagram demonstrating the sinilarities and differences of rocks and minerals for a visual aid. Extensions:

  It seems pretty in depth, not sure you would need to change it much for older grades, you can add additional activities for them to look deeper into the research.

Extensions: Special needs students could draw their rocks and/or verbally describe them to other students, who can scribe for them. Request a set of Illinois Rocks and Minerals from the State Geological Survey. Display these samples and labels with the classroom set of rocks. Comparisons can be made as lessons progress.
