Pebbles, Sand, and Silt Kickoff

Do you enjoy investigating new things? First grade will get the opportunity to learn all about rocks and do some fun tests on them. There are so many different types of rocks and we will learn the differences! Students get to use magnifying glasses and more! To kick off the fun we learned about volcanoes and volcanic rock! First, we used homemade salt clay to form our own volcano. Next, we allowed it to dry over our four day "break". Finally, we used baking soda, vinegar, and food coloring to erupt them. We cannot wait to continue our learning!
