Ganon Aleph Geologists
The children in Ganon Aleph became geologists this week when we began our study of rocks. They used their senses of touch and sight to recognize that rocks come in different, shapes, sizes, and textures. They learned the difference between igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks, and metamorphic rocks. After learning that rocks can be formed from lava that erupts from volcanoes, we made our own volcano using red food coloring, baking soda, and vinegar. The children enjoyed collecting rocks outdoors which they used to make their "rock families." Who knew rocks could be so much fun?!
