RGoSS - Additional Activities (K-4)
A poster of Earth at night that shows the ligths from all the cities. Activites are also included.
Students make predictions about lunar rocks by first collecting, describing, and classifying neighborhood rocks.
After studying rocks that they have collected for the Reaping Rocks lesson, students can compare their samples to the rock samples from the moon.
Students create and observe simulated moon regolith.
Students can learn how geologists use stratigraphy, the study of layered rock, to understand the sequence of geological events. As students watch baking soda-vinegar "lava" flow from their clay volcanoes, they will see that the lava follows different paths. They will also learn how to distinguish between older and newer layered flows.
