RGoSS - Additional Activities (K-4)

Night Lights Poster

A poster of Earth at night that shows the ligths from all the cities. Activites are also included.

Reaping Rocks

Students make predictions about lunar rocks by first collecting, describing, and classifying neighborhood rocks.

Lunar Disk

After studying rocks that they have collected for the Reaping Rocks lesson, students can compare their samples to the rock samples from the moon.

Making Regolith

Students create and observe simulated moon regolith.

Lava Layering

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.
