During our Science lesson on Friday, we began our new Chemistry learning. We’re chemists this half term while we study rocks, soils and fossils.
What is a rock?
A rock is a hard material made from one or more minerals.
We made some careful observations about 12 different rocks during the lesson. The children used words like texture, grain, layers and crystals to describe the rocks.
Next lesson, we’ll begin sorting the rocks into groups based on their appearance and characteristics. Help at home by describing chalk. What does it look like?
