Four Winds: Rocks and Minerals

Jen and Bobbi visited our classroom today with Four Winds and they taught us all about rocks and minerals. We talked about the rock cycle and the three different types of rocks -igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.  We talked about erosion and how rocks change over many hundreds of years. We did lots of hands experiments including studying various rocks with magnifying glasses, classifying rocks, and we even made our own fossils! Here are some photos from our adventures!
