Science:
This week students will be moving on to 2.2 “Classifying
Rocks” while continuing to review the properties of minerals (2.1). Towards the
middle of the week we will begin 2.4 “Sedimentary Rocks” and participate in a
lab where we will create both conglomerate and clastic sedimentary rocks. As
always there will be a quiz on Friday April 5th over the weekly
material, so please encourage some extra study time this week along with
vocabulary practice.
Monday: We started out the week by checking our lab results from last Friday's Mineral Identification Lab. We then moved into a discussion on what is means to classify an obeject(s) through an activity where I had students see how many different ways they could classify materials from their material tub. Lastly, we read 2.2 pages 44-45 in our textbook and completed the "Mineral Compostion and Color" box in our notes. Students were given a little time to complete the three vocabulary words we discussed today (rock-forming minerals, granite, and basalt), and need to finish them if they did not get to it during "flex time".
