The teacher will tell the students that they will be learning more about rocks and
minerals and that they will be watching a short video before completing an activity
with one of the rocks they brought from home
The teacher will play the video clip for the students
Once the video clip is done, the teacher will ask the students if they can retell one
of the facts that they learned about in the video. The teacher will take a handful of
volunteers to answer
The teacher will then ask the students to return to their seats and distribute the
All About My Rock sheet
The teacher will ask students to take out their pencil and crayons and she will open
up the rock sheet paper on the Smartboard
The teacher will produce a rock that is a favorite and model how to complete the
rock sheet. She will start with the drawing, move on to how the rock feels, and
then model how to use the magnifying glass.
The teacher will continue with showing the students how the magnifying glass
helps her see more colors in her rock and she will show were to write the colors on
the rock sheet.
The teacher will then explain in the last box on the sheet she wants the students to
write about why that rock is special to them or what characteristics help make it
special out of all the rocks in their collection.
The teacher will then call each table to come up and collect their rock collection
boxes
The teacher will then ask one student from each table to come up and get
magnifying glasses for the students at their table.
The teacher will then ask students to begin examining their rock
If students finish early, the teacher will ask students to find a partner and go to a
quiet spot in the classroom to share what they discovered about their rock and why
it is special.
