      STANDARDS: SCI.3.2.1 2010 Examine the physical properties of rock samples and sort them into categories based on size using simple tools such as sieves. SCI.3.2.2 2010 Observe the detailed characteristics of rocks and minerals. Identify rocks as being composed of different combinations of minerals. SCI.3.2.3 2010 Classify and identify minerals by their physical properties of hardness, color, luster and streak. ADAPTATION: Teacher can differentiate the types of observations the students make.... some students could observe and comment on the texture, patterns, and number of surfaces of the rock while lower performing groups can focus more on observing the color, shape, and size of the rocks EXTENSION: Students can start a rock garden.  If the school has an area where rocks tend to gather, students can collects rocks from that sight, label them, put them into a small box of dirt (garden) and take them home.

      Standard: K.NS.1 - Use all senses as appropriate to observe, sort and describe objects according to their composition and physical properties, such as size, color and shape. Explain these choices to others and generate questions about the objects

    Students learn all about classifying rocks based on the physical attribues that can be observed by holding and looking closely at the rocks.

      SCI.4.2.2 2010 Describe how wind, water and glacial ice shape and reshape earth's land surface by eroding rock and soil in some areas and depositing them in other areas in a process that occurs over a long period of time. ADAPTATIONS: The teacher can pair high ability students with middle/low ability students.  The high ability students can help the middle/low students extend their thinking and observations.   EXTENSION:  Students can

      Standard: 3.NS.2 Identify fossils and describe how they provide evidence about the plants and animals that lived long ago and the nature of their environment at that time.

      Extension: Students could create an fossil then research that prehistoric animal. Students could find out when they lived, how common the fossils are, and how they became extinct.

      Adaptation: Students could work together in groups to make fossils if resources were limited. Students might make their own fossils, but then work in groups for the research component. This way the ELL and lower English speaking students could handle the research part of the activity.

    Fossils are created when something is preserved over many years resulting in an impression or outline in or on a rock. Some fossils are over a million years old! In this fun activity, kids learn how to make fossils of their own, and get lots measurement and fine motor skills practice along the way.

    I do a similar activity with store bought Play Doh, but these look more authentic and I like the practice with measurement.

      MA.2.3.3 2000 Recognize and extend a linear pattern by its rules. Extension: Teacher can read Old MacDonald Had a Dragon.  This books reads to the song Old MacDonald Had a Farm which has a repetitive chorus/pattern.  This activity has to deal with beats of music where as the book as to deal with words and music but both form patterns.  Adaptations: students who struggle with holding instruments can make the patterns with the pattern blocks for other students to make a patterned beat with.

      Expansion: have students make predictions about what will happen to the solution and then record changes in crystal formations as they grow.  Have student check their prediction to see whether it was accurate.

    It's one thing to learn that cave formations are created when dissolved minerals are deposited as water evaporates, but your budding earth scientist can do it herself. Encourage your child's interest in the world around her with this hands-on activity.

      Standard: 4.NS.2- Observe, investigate and give examples of ways that the shape of land changes over time.(4.2.1, 4.2.2, 4.2.3) Describe how the supply of natural resources is limited and investigate ways that humans protect and harm the environment. (4.2.4, 4.2.5, 4.2.6)

      Extension: Students could build more elaborate models with rocks, mud, dirt, soil, and other natural objects. Students could build larger models that set over time and could be used to mimic larger mining operations.

      Adaptations: Students could write reports on the effects of coal mining and other human practices on the earth and our resources. Students could give presentations on other harmful practices that humans participate in, explaining why, despite the negative effects, we still make these decisions.

    Students will "hunt" for coal by digging chocolate chips out of chocolate chip cookies with tooth picks. Students will not be able to break cookies or take bites to get chocolate out of the cookies. Students will understand the affects that mining has on its environment.

      Extension: Students could experiement with different laying techniques of the soil, rock, clay, etc. to see if erosion occurs differently based on the order of earth's layers. This experiment could be completed in small groups, all studying different arrangements of the earthen materials. Students could present their findings to the class or in the form of a report.
